You've got to do it (Score 4, Insightful)

In 1987 I was offerred the opportunity to play bass for a nationally recognized folk performer. I had just started at my first software job a week before, but would have to go on tour a month later if I took the offer.

I said no.

I regret the decision to this day, despite being pretty successful in software.

Don't be an idiot - grab your dream job when you can. It's a lot better to be able to fail and say you tried than regret that...etc.
