Being a teacher. I loved it and it was nice. But, with current conditions, I am over it. And, I am a lucky teacher that jumped the hoops and entered at the right time and pull in $98k/ yr. I wish I had majored in Enviro Science and worked in the field of Ornithology or US Wildlife and Forestry.

I am in school now to become an X-ray tech and gain more certifications for MRI, MRE, Ultrasound, Cat Scan. This will be less stress and it is something I was also interested in earlier in life.[/quote]

I followed the enviro science path and while things have pretty much worked out for me, it’s not really a path I’d recommend. Competition for new grads is fierce, pay is poor unless you go over to the dark side, and it’s rare to end up with a job that actually gets you outside - or if you get one, pay is REALLY bad and travel is hard with a family.

I work with great mission-driven people in NGOs and government, but it’s hard to get in the door and none of my coworkers are wealthy. Many of my friends from grad school have moved to the tech sector and I often think of doing so[/quote]
