Derailed
From the time Tripp was a small child, he wanted to become a Railroad Engineer. After Tripp finished High School, he attended Railroad Engineer School so that he could become a Railroad Engineer. About half-way through his education, a certain manager was visiting the school and noticed Tripp’s potential for success. Consequently, he offered Tripp a job as a Railroad Engineer with an attractive salary to start immediately.
Tripp declined the invitation saying, “I’m sorry. I’d love to take you up on your offer, but I must finish my schooling first so that I can become a Railroad Engineer when I get out.”
