Thank you and happy chatting!
I got that degree. I ended up not finding work in my field, going into a pretty dirty job, and eventually impressed someone who was shocked to find out I had a degree and got hired. I then did scientific consulting for years, occasionally using my specific degree but I spent a lot of time learning chemistry, construction, geology, field management, and any number of other skills. When I fully outgrew that line of work I was again fortunate to get a government job where I happen to use all the skills I've built along the way. The point is that it was very much not a straight line and only through continual learning and self improvement did I finally end up in a very good place. Keep swinging.
Yeah even though I'm scared I'm still going to try. Thanks
