Life Choices Affirmed
I met a young woman today who recently graduated with her Master's Degree. She told me of her personal struggle with trying to find a job in her field. She is currently working for $10 an hour as a Teacher's Assistant, which is far from what she went to school for.
On the other hand, my parents make a combined income of well over a hundred thousand dollars. Neither of them has graduated from college. My father hasn't even set foot on a college campus. My mother took a few courses that she thought were interesting when we were younger.
I am so happy not to be in school right now. I don't care how lonely or depressed I get sometimes. I don't care how useless I feel sitting around the house all day. I don't care if I end up doing a nothing job for the rest of my life. I am COMPLETELY positive that right now, grad school is NOT what I need. If I am going to end up taking a shitty job no matter what my education background is, why would I want to put that off only to acquire more debt???
Props to you who are taking on the grad school demons! And props to me for making a 100% PERFECT choice for myself.
School sucks.
