[quote=Anonymous] I felt like I was “supposed” to choose.a lucrative career but wanted to be a teacher or a speech pathologist. I knew others kind of thought that was strange. Corporate recruiting was intense but I remember feeling like there was little career and postgrad guidance for someone with my interests. I was so confused I interviewed with Smith Barney and Bain and BCG even thought I wasn’t interested in finance or consulting. I even took a consulting job, I think because I didn’t feel I had other options at the time! When I finally found my way to education, I’d get comments like “you must be a smarty pants.” It didn’t feel kind or well-meaning. In retrospect, I got a fantastic education and I did eventually figure it out. But it makes absolutely no difference that I went to HYP. My peers went to places like Frostburg State and JMU and Delaware and St Mary’s etc. [/quote]
