Your story is so similar to mine...I did so well in school, studied a few different subjects at college (UK college which I think is probably similar to US community college), got a few low level qualifications in different things and ended up doing a bunch of retail/warehouse type jobs. Like you I'm an idealist and have learned much about the working world I'd rather not know, so I'm determined to carve out my own living instead of relying on others for jobs. I even love EFT, though I just discovered it. Really looking forward to reading more of your posts.
