" I am leaving. "- Greg
Today I had a meeting with Greg. He is a young chemical engineer that works in our chemical plant.
Before the meeting he told me that he is leaving. The energy market is very hot so I would not be surprised if he left for a better deal. So I asked him where he is going. His response was surprising, "California, to join a startup".
Those words would imply he had landed a job but not in Greg's world. He wants to go out to California and look around for a startup to join. He figures he can always go back to a chemical plant.
Being a young and single gives Greg the flexibility to be aggressive about his future. It is wise that he wants to see what else the world has to offer. If he would have stayed he would have become a better process engineer but by leaving he will learn how to be an entrepreneur.
I wish his future to be brighter than he believes it will be.
Today's question is:
" How far on a limb could you go out on?"
