[quote=Anonymous]This is interesting to me.
12 years ago I was your daughter.
I was the bright student, top 20 in my class, had my pick of colleges, never gave my parents any trouble, but I had no idea what I wanted to be .
I went to college because it was expected of me, picked a major because it was expected of me. I did graduate college in  a STEM field, but just barely. I burnt myself out in the process. Got a job in the field, but didn't last. I have spent the last  7 years floating. I now work as a nanny. It's okay. Most of the time I enjoy the kids, the families I work for are nice, and they pay is good. But it is a rough field as others have mentioned benefits are hard to come by and it basically there is no upward movement. I want to move on, but I'm currently stuck. At 30 I am just now figuring out what I want to be .
I wish someone had told me back then to take a year or 2 to focus myself, and maybe I wouldn't be in debt and trying to find a way to  get certified so my degree isn't useless and get out of my rut.[/quote]
