my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: I worked for over 30 years for local government. I have a firm belief in God and worship regularly.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: Ten years ago, I was still trying to "get ahead" at work. I had a friend die suddenly and that made me reevaluate my life. I retired earlier than I had planned.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Travelling somewhere.
