Well, there was this one time at band camp. I had to decide if I should play the piccolo or the cello, so I chose both.

My exact thoughts as I sit here needing to go to bed because I have to work tomorrow while I'm working on a 5 page family assessment that is due for my online BSN class....while cruising Allnurses. :-)

I was going to give a wiseguy answer to your question, and decided not to.

That was difficult for me.

Out of curiosity, who are you, why do you want to know, and what is a difficult decision you have made and how did you arrive to a solution?

It's not homework... rude.

I guess no one else has an answer. It's a hard question.

OK...well I need more information then. This just seems like such a bizarre question to ask for no reason.

Coming off a stint in Iraq with the national guard I had to decide what was next, college or switch to the full time army. I really liked doing my job in the military, but knew I didn't want to do it forever. I was anxious about college because I didn't really know what I wanted to major in and was afraid that I'd have to choose a major before I knew what I really wanted to do. I thought it through, made a list of pro's and con's, and it came out a complete wash. Coin flip sent me into the regular army.

There are a lot of random questions on this forum. And this is one of them.
