<p>I also don’t have anything profound to add, I don’t think except to tag onto the “You’ve come to the right place!” sentiment.</p>
<p>Many of us have had to be talked down off the ledge this past year and it’s not over yet! I’ve had some of the KINDEST PM’s this past month from those who went through it last year and before.</p>
<p>I do want to say that I think the vast majority of people end up in a career that’s only tangentially related to their bachelor’s degree. I, for example, have a degree in Communication Studies with a concentration in Television. Right out of college I was a flight attendant, then a prison guard, then a real estate appraiser. Left work to stay home and raise my kids, and now, 21 years later I’m going to re-invent myself again. Still don’t know what I’m going to emerge from my “mommy cocoon” as, but whatever it is, all of my past work, time as a mom, AND education will have contributed to preparing me for it. And I think all of our kids are the same. Any education is preparation for life and if they DON’T end performing professionally, and they don’t start their own business or do some freelance teaching or whatever, there are many employers that only ask that a person have a Bachelor’s Degree in any field. They will be in GREAT shape. I just know it.</p>
<p>Edited to add: I’ve posted this article before, but I think this is a great place to post it again!
