When I was 20yo I applied to work at my local Mac reseller. The owner kept me on a line for so long that I turned 21 and got a part time gig at a liquor store. We were putting up shelves (new store) and receiving shipments when he called and asked if I was ready to work for him. I told him he was too late.

I'm grateful that it worked out that way because my life is pretty great and I wonder what series of different events would have occurred had he hired me. I bet I wouldn't have got off my ass and moved to the coast as quickly as I did. All kinds of opportunities might have been missed.
