I'd happily settle for going back to when I was about 13 years of age - with the proviso of knowing what I know now (some hope!) At that point in time, ambitions were high that I could make myself a worthwhile career, spanning all the years necessary until retirement - in the U.K. Electronics Industry. Now although that plan indeed did produce some memorable highlights (and a few favourable rewards), I think we all know where my line of thinking is now going. 
Question is, would I still have gone down the same path? Probable answer is yes, but I would certainly have avoided the traps and pitfalls that I encountered on my journey.
At one point, I did seriously contemplate taking up a teaching career (mathematics and physics). However, I now realise that that would have been a big mistake, since teaching methods have changed dramatically over those years and I know that I would have insisted on maintaining the Old Style - which, of course, would not have gone down well! :@
As is often said, hindsight is a wonderful thing; hmm.
