The most major were moving far from where I grew up, taking a job that was hybrid physical labor and office work, meeting my now fiancé, and reading Marxist theory.

The first forced me to grow up.

The second helped my sympathize with the trades, physical laborers, and other people that office-workers are normally out of contact with.

The third dramatically improved my life and opened my horizons.

The fourth helped me make sense of our crumbling systems and know what needs to be done.
