1st Answer Example
"I certainly do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction completely, I would likely pursue my degree in Education and become a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers, and they seemed to have a very fulfilling career. I enjoy coaching and leading others so, any tasks in my current career related to these skills always make me happy."
