It has had an influence in my career choice. I wanted a stable job where i would be around home to hunt all of the time, weekends off etc. Enjoy helping people and kids so i became a teacher. It will influence where i get my first job. I will not take a teaching job unless it is close to my current home. I may have to wait 5 years to get a job but that is fine i have other actually better forms of income until that time. It has affected where i chose to do my student teaching practice, chose places with good hunting opportunity, inlfuenced what university i went to, influenced what kind of vehicle i drive (truck). Influenced my life plans of buying out a farm back home and a pile of land. So basically it has cost me alot of money. I basically have scheduled my whole life around this.
