Work/School

[bluejadex]

After a few months of work (ultimately learning that college teaches you how to think, rather than what you actually will use on the job), I'm doubting (a little) my decision to go start working, rather than get a Masters or higher degree

Yeah, I learned about the whole people move on, follow their own paths, etc. thing after high school...but I didn't have many good friends in high school. Right now, I keep in touch with 2-4 people (and 2 of 'em were in a higher grade). I think one difficulty is that there were so many changes all at once for me, and I'm still adjusting.

I know things won't be the same. That's a lesson I've learned several times over in my life. Need to stop thinking about that and just concentrate on the future and continuing the friendships I want to continue. I would like to learn more (and some things that YSU didn't teach me) - that'd be my main goal of going back...to learn more, open up more opportunities for myself, etc. It wouldn't be to recreate things or undo mistakes.

I must say that a few times it's crossed my mind that maybe I should (at some point, not right away) go back to school and maybe try something else, other than Engineering. Teaching, for instance. I really do like teaching and helping people...or even psychology. I'm not convinced those are realistic ideas though.

The memories'll be there, I've no doubt. I've been moving on, slowly but surely. I'm still getting used to things, but overall it's going well.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. :) Are you going to be around for the Canfield Fair or anything?
