This was a surprisingly impactful interview with Dr. Karl Pillemer, director of Cornell University’s Legacy Project. The thrust is not to wait to do what you want to do, with the exception of choosing a life partner (do give that a ton of time!). Don't linger in a job that troubles you and that you find unfulfilling. This definitely applies to veterinary medicine. If you want to make a change - go mobile, independent, integrative / acupuncture / rehab, listen to this Mel Robbins podcast, get inspired, and learn from our elders, which is an all-too-rare opportunity.
