<p>My undergrad degree is on a shelf somewhere. It was a big deal to me, given no one else in my family ever had one. And it was the most fun, most developmental growth time of my life. And I was able to use it to move onto a Masters and PhD and work in the field I majored in (sort of). </p>
<p>Interestingly, it never occurred to me to worry about what job I would get or to pick a major on that basis. I just gravitated to what I enjoyed the most, and figured something would work out eventually. In hindsight, that is odd given my family was so poor and I was financial on my own after highschool (and had to pay my way through school on my own). But I’m glad I did this since I now really like what I do and earn a good living. .</p>
