No, your opinion has as much value as anyone else's. However, your 
opinion is based upon your experiences and those may be limited as 
compared to others.

That's nice in theory, but not that easy in practice. You might be a 
world authority on one specific topic, but if no one is interested, 
then you're out of luck (been there, done that -- and that's another 
topic).

But opportunity (excluding health) is what is most important. Most of 
us (my past self included) often take opportunity for granted -- we 
think it will always be around, but that's not true. And one day you 
may find yourself without opportunity and then will be willing to 
settle for just about anything, while holding your breath waiting for 
a better opportunity. However, holding your breath has it's limits.

So, putting on my "father-yoda" suit, I say take every opportunity 
afforded you because this too will pass.
