Such good advice here -- received and given -- Fred. There's a corollary: take the position that will open the way to the most options in the future, but also make sure the position is one that will give you an extended reach into the community expanding your influence and energy as you go and allowing you to do the most good with the gifts that are yours.

You and Jerry Bepko both have personified those principles, I happen to know, to a tee and what a legacy you both have created!

I forwarded this video to several family members, mostly nieces and nephews, that are at the start of their careers. It can be so confusing (especially, as Fred noted, when comparing your job to your peers) at this time in their work lives, to decide which are the best decisions to make. Sound, bedrock advice that they all can think about (also helps when it comes from Fred Glass and not Aunt Laura).

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
