I had the opportunity, at a very low point in my life, to take a job that would have meant a move across the entire country, to Albuquerque NM no less. Fortunately, the job was such that I needed to go out there to interview, tour the facility, and essentially audition, while also getting a feel for the people I would be interacting closely with. I had fallen out of the industry just before that (hence the low point), so getting back in would have been a dream come true, a miracle. So I allowed them to fly me out there to interview in person.

I came away with very bad vibes and decided to turn the job down. Six months later, I found out that the company folded and had to restructure in order to survive, and everyone who had been there when I interviewed had been let go. So, had I taken it just to pursue the industry I thought I wanted to stay in, I would have been out of a job, far across the country from my loved ones and friends, and probably stuck. Yet, to this day, I still wonder about what would have happened if I'd chosen to take the job. My life would have turned out very differently. I don't regret it so much as I have uncertain feelings whether the path my life took since then is better or worse. I have an amazing partner and a nice house and a cute cat, but my job prospects have only gotten worse and worse over the years. It's kind of a crap shoot.
