I apologize for not clarifying. I was primarily selling out by compromising my preferred career path for a less desirable one (in my view at the time).

I don't regret the decision, and I ended up really enjoying the five years I spent working in the energy industry. However, at the time, I definitely believed I was "selling out".

I worked aerospace internships throughout my undergrad, but when I got an offer from a petroleum company that paid 50% more than my aerospace offers, I took the job.
