It is all about choices but the opportunities are there.

I chose a career in "teaching". No complaints here. I worked hard, continued in grad school at night until I was 40. Earned two advanced degrees which puts you a few notches up in the salary scale. I paid a significant amount into a pension plan for 30 years. I now have a comfortable retirement lifestyle. I contributed something back to society and that has to count for something too.
