    To begin with, I would probably need to know more about the decision, what choices there were, what the person personally thought about their choices, and what they found desirable about each.

    Then, I'd want to know about their goals in life. Do they just want to work, stay single, maybe have a pet, or do they want to eventually support a spouse and children? Are they only concerned with making money and advancements, or will having time for their family be important, too?

    There's plenty to consider in addition to lifestyles. Is there equal aptitude for each career path? Are there similar opportunities for work? What's the hardest part about making the decision? And what would stop someone from choosing one career, and if they didn't like it or it didn't work out to their satisfaction, pursue another?

    In my experience, it's rarely an either or kind of thing. It's more about what people want to accomplish with their lives, and how does work or a career fit into those desires and help to fulfill them.

    I ran a small business for 15 years. It wasn't exactly the most fulfilling, but it provided a good steady income that exceeded our needs, and a lot of the work was handled by the employees, too, so I had a lot of time each week to be with my sons as they grew older, got involved in sports and other extracurricular activities. Having the business gave me opportunities to be around them that I don't think i would have enjoyed otherwise.

    In my mind, work is a means to an end, and time is our most precious commodity. The more we can spend it doing whatever it is we want to do, the better. If that's work, great. If that's traveling, being with friends or raising a family, it's all good. The important thing is that the career should be able to fit a persons needs, present and future. If it can't, then maybe another should be considered. If it stops doing that, perhaps a change a that time is in order.

    So, there's quite a few things to know about the careers involved and the individual seeking them before dispensing any specific advice, but that's more or less where I would start and see where it leads from there.

      This sounds like a culture question that has meaning for some, but perhaps not as much for others.

      Senior and junior have a few connotations, one that has to do with age, and another that is more based in seniority or title, such as in a business or perhaps even leaders of an organization, church or government.

      In my experience, older people tend to be the ones who initiate any greeting, regardless of the age of the other. I suppose that's because they're not so inhibited by shyness or social moors anymore. The only exception to this I've seen is my granddaughter. She greets me even before I'm completely inside.

      As far as the other goes, again, if a senior executive wants to greet a junior executive first, I don't have a problem with that either. It's obviously there prerogative, since they'd be in charge either way. In some schools of thought, treating subordinates like people rather than inferiors is a good thing. It fosters greater productivity, if the lines of responsibility remain intact.

      So, in any sense of the terms, I'd be just fine with the senior person greeting the junior first.

        Based on what Steemit Inc. CEO Ned Scott has been saying in the last two interviews, it sounds like there's some repositioning of their stake taking place, and it might not only involve the largest portion of it, which is the actual Steemit account, but all of it.

        However, the one account principally being used for delegation, aptly named misterdelegation, still has many dApps and other concerns that it's delegating to. So far, five accounts receiving delegations have been revoked.

        Meanwhile, the Steemit account has already sent over a million STEEM to Bittrex, with another 44 million SP potentially powered down over the next couple of weeks.

        Also, it's been claimed (though I have not heard this) that Steemit Inc has decided to concentrate on the dApps that they feel add the most value to STEEM. That might be true, but I'm not sure if that's why the delegations were taken back. Since there's been no specific word by any of the parties, Steemit Inc., Musing, dsound and sndbox, we're still in the dark about how those dApps will proceed going forward.

        I don't know much about dsound, but just from observing the other two, sndbox appears to be full speed ahead, while Musing has not upvoted more than 10 users since losing the delegation last Saturday, partly due to low VP and waiting for it to replenish, but now it's been over 24 hours since that occurred, and only four upvotes in the intervening time.

        So far, the rest of the Steemit delegations appear to be intact. I would imagine we'd know sooner than later if those will be revoked as well.
