If I had followed that customer's advice and become an extra, it would have most likely turned out to be something positive or at least better than what I ended up with.
About 22 years ago I was asked to join a band that was rehearsing for a tour of Europe. They were obscure and would have played small clubs, but I really liked their music and I’d never had that experience and always wanted to. I turned it down because I’d just got my first real programming job after a scary period of unemployment and debt. Programming has been a good life for me, but I still wish I’d done the risky thing while I still had some youth left in me. The band broke up soon after, so maybe it wasn’t that great an experience for them, but who knows.
