A Pivotal Point

There are pivotal points in every person's life. Typically, these are times when one has to make difficult decision and weigh the advantages and the disadvantages a course of action. In my case, the pivotal point came after high school when I had to decide whether or not to attend college immediately or alternatively to take some time off and earn some money. For many of my friends, the obvious choice was to enter the workforce and earn money quickly.

For me, the choice came down to immediate gratification in the form of a paycheck
