Hmmmm, I fought hard to get my degree & have a computer engineering career.....but in 1994, aerospace crashed & finding a career job anywhere was impossible. I was happy with my career, but when you loose a career & can't find a job whether one you were forced into or not is traumatic & just because you were happy with the path your life took, when it falls apart, one becomes unhappy!

Fast forward 13 years & I was able to start life over but it had nothing to do with the career I got my degree & trained for. Life was new, 2100 miles away on a little farm I bought. Sometimes we hit those lowes before we can get on our feet again.

Living ones life to please others is never a good idea. I fought hard to go to the university & get my BS degree. Was it worth it? YES, because it let those who tried to influence me otherwise that it wouldn't work. I am sure if my parents were still living they wouldn't think what they did was wrong either & neither would my EX. Sometimes we just have to stop & reassess our own life & then go forward from there with a goal of doing what you want & forging your own identity.
