Your entire post was pretty accurate.
Long story short, comm was not my 1st choice. But my GPA was not strong enough to get me into one of the competitive medical fields I was striving for, so comm was plan b. It was either comm or finance, and apparently I made the wrong decision.
As I said in earlier posts, I grew up pretty poor. So talk of salaries was not very meaningful to me as an 18-21 year old. A salary of $30,000 may as well have been $1 million. Both were more than I could comprehend.
When I graduated, my first meaningful job paid $2k a month, and I thought I had it made. That was more money than I had ever seen.
Now that I am older, I see things more clearly. If my 18-year-old self could make decisions based on my 30-something mind, I would be in a much better place right now...but wouldn't we all?
There are so many other things I want to do...I better get to it. First things first, though, time to go drink.
