Don't mind at all. I really didn't know what I wanted to do coming out of high school, but I eventually settled on the business field. I got an opportunity to get into real estate while I was in college, so I started stringing my classes along, taking less and less each semester. I found the classes simply didn't apply to what I was starting to become good at: finding and flipping property. All my classes were just leading me to end up in a job, when I already had the responsibilities of the boss. I stuck with the entrepreneurial thing until the Recession, up until then it was hard work and a lot of growth, but it wasn't long before the money was good. Post Recession, having to go back into the job market sucked. I found out, especially with my age, a lot of people lie about having a self-supporting business on their resume. With what I had, I was only marketable to an investor. I didn't have the time in jobs, positions and titles an employer wanted to see. I ended up serving 6 years in the Army Reserves with a complete career change to the medical field. That gave me the spark to get back into school; again, I found a lot of people lie about their capabilities and even an investor wants to see a Bachelor's degree to weed out the phonies. The reason for the change to medical is that I presented myself as a candidate for upper rank advancement walking into the recruiter's station. At my age, the military would only pay for certain professions to become officers; nursing was the best option. I was in a weird period again after discharging; I got hurt pretty bad and it was a process to get medical attention and compensation. In that time, I took one course at a time to complete my Bachelor's in Business Finance (that was where I originally started versus backtracking and starting from square one). Once things were somewhat settled in my personal life, the VA opened a path for me to get into the FDA. While I was there (and I took forever to figure out what was the best combination of past and future skills), I started working on a Master's in Health Science, Public Health concentration. My logical step was to go RN/BSN, but I didn't think my body would handle it, so I should start looking at the admin side. I eventually went back to real estate, I've now accumulated enough credits to become a licensed broker, so now I can employ other people, which is what I'm best at. I have one class left in my Master's program. With that, if necessary, I can teach, if I had to go back into military/government work, I would have some rank and a decent position, or i could tack on 2 more years of school and go the PA route. With a Master's and military experience I don't think I'd be out of work long. Entrepreneurship is where I'm best, and this was a long, grueling route (even spoke with the ex-wife for her HR advice). All said to say what I've learned is nothing is secure, you have to set yourself up for multiple options for success. I assumed real estate would always be there, and half a degree only left me "qualified" for labor in the private sector. It's been a long roundabout path with some dark moments, but I'm marketable now globally in multiple directions if push comes to shove again.
