It’s funny, I went to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. I’m glad I went and it’s definitely made my career easier. However, as a power plant operator, in my state a degree isn’t needed, just licensing.

    Undergrad in History and International Relations, because I intended to become a diplomat. Realized an anxiety disorder was probably not going to make that a good career choice. Decided to go to nursing school, got an associates in “science” working on the pre-reqs and then decided to go to grad school for public health and epidemiology instead.

    Honestly I love school, I don’t regret any of it except that I was too nervous about quitting my job (I worked my way through to cover what grants and loans didn’t) to do a term abroad. I should have taken the five weeks in Berlin.
