Hey Pandas, What Was The Most Significant Event In Your Life? (Closed)

Well, not a great day, but the day I got drafted into the US Army. Yes, I ended up in Vietnam as an infantryman. Not a great year in my life. But, surviving that year, coming home and making use of the GI Bill! I would never have been able to afford college otherwise. I got BS in accounting. I had some months left and was able to afford (thanks to my wife who worked and supported me) another two semester to get a MBA. A year later, passed my CPA exam.
I would never have thought I would be a professional accountant until I got my act together. Army is not a great career, but it does make you focused on alternative careers and how to greet there.

Switching jobs.

I was a bicycle mechanic for 15 years.

Now I help design supercomputers.

The day I met the man who would become my husband

When my late husband was killed. As terrible as it was/is, so many positive changes came from it too.

The day I became a Christian.
