Today's OneWord: Worth

I managed to break away from it all ten years ago, escaping in my father's beaten up minivan while he was sleeping at five in the morning. Was it worth it? Even now, I'm not so sure. I've worked odd jobs since I ran away - at restaurants, auto shops, retail stores, even construction sites - I'm kind of a poor man's Renaissance individual. Sometimes, I wonder if staying home and enduring my father's abuse while continuing my education would have resulted in anything better.
