[QUOTE="Bierhunter, post: 1517827, member: 3178"] Mine was in the military. I joined right out of high school. I don't count the first enlistment term, as it was nothing more that getting out on my own and learning how to party without getting in trouble. During my 2nd term, though, things changed. Higher rank, more responsibiity, I matured mentally and grew up. The experiences and lessons I learned along with the discipline has helped me throughout the rest of my life (so far. ;) ) Although, I think I'm about to hit another defining moment. BB's post hit it right on the money. My life has been filled with always helping others and fixing other peoples' problems. I've been thinking a lot about that lately due to stress and burnout. It's time to realize that my career is not my life...it's a job and a paycheck source. Nothing more. Now I just have to act on it and prioritize what's really important. Helping others will always be something I think about...it's just my nature. But, I'm not going to be the 'goto guy' anymore. Whew...it felt good just saying that. :) [/QUOTE]
