Ya know... Maybe I should reconsider. Maybe my tech degree really is dead-end. LOL. Or at least, not really that necessary. It's not like the classroom taught me much that I use today. Google and YouTube on the other hand...I don’t take offense to stuff like that anyway, but I should clear up that I was in no way insulting those majors. I just believed there are better ways to pursue careers in those areas than college.
Definitely other ways to pursue interests if you are willing to give up someone leading you on the path and forging ahead on your own...
I have been told by my mother the first job I wanted as a small child was to be a trash man. Well that's frowned upon apparently so I chased this other dream I was sold. Then I'm driving in my car a few years back and there is an ad on the radio saying I could get $90K (still a lot where I live) to drive a trash truck if I had a CDL. Only in hindsight did I realize I'm not really happy in my soulless job, since I don't really know what I would do differently if given the chance.
