As a follow-up to GBs post.
Same thing happened to my son TWICE!
While in college he wanted to join a popular band. He wanted to play lead guitar but, they allready had a 'lead man' and needed a 'bass player', I said, "Go ahead and take the bass job and be the best bass player you can be." He did and was soon asked to fill in for several other bands when he could, and got a great following of fans.
One summer he got a job to be 'music director' at a church camp. After arriving they desided they needed a maintance man worse than a music director so he accepted the job. He ended up enjoying the experiance and learned alot about maintance and repair of all sorts of things and it helped him get a job with a reality company in the college town that he lived in! Not only that but, he is married with two children now,and a house that he is able to do his own fix-up/maintance on and it saves him ALOT of money.
And he is just a computor geek/salesman now and was hired to be the marketing man eight years ago!!
Never give up or turn down a new opertunity.
