I thought I'd get my degree in engineering, work for some construction firm, work my way up the ladder, and then retire from same company. None of my life expectations have been fullfilled. It doesn't make my life UN-fullfilling, but I've had to adapt to being fired, being laid-off, dying parents, insane family members, loss of friends, discovery of better friends, ... and in the end create a value system based on unexpected life experiences and build an emotional tool kit that will help me survive unexpected change.
