[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t do great in high school—gpa was probably 2.5 +/- . I don’t remember. I worked for a few years as a nurses aid, considered nursing school but struggled with the math and science prerequisite classes. Took a humanities class and fell in love with school—I was studying the wrong things! By 25 I was slowly working my way through school, until I got a semiconductor manufacturing job at 26 that paid a living wage and also paid for school. Finally got two bachelor’s degrees ands graduated with degrees in history and humanities, which as it turns out are kind of useless.

I wish I had considered a trade of some kind or a union job of some sort. Struggled after college to earn enough to live on, but was really proud of my degrees nonetheless. Ultimately worked as a nanny for many years and loved it, but it’s a nowhere job with few perks and not a lot of longevity or security. Working a union job as a municipal bus driver which pays quite well in my city, and has great benefits. Sometimes life takes you on a circuitous route and all you can do is learn as much as you can and enjoy the ride.

Not everyone is doctor or engineer material, but there’s something for everyone. [/quote]
