I believe a lot of people think when they go to school (especially a big college) that they will have all the answers when they leave. You wont. You never will.

Just because you went to school, got a good degree, it does not mean you will always use it. I do not know the stats but I bet over 50% of the people who get college degrees use them very little once they graduate.

I am a perfect example. I have a Electronics Engineering degree. I worked like hell getting it. I had a job lined up when I graduated. I worked there 9 years. Company closed down. I got another job in Engineering at another big company. Worked there a few years, company relocated. I said frick it.

I am no longer a Engineer.

Life is fluid. Just learn to go with things. It will change a few times before you are as old as me. I promise

You learned more in college than your degree.

Hit the nail right on the head.

And no, I'm not exactly happy with my occupation at the moment. And I had a blast in college and am not using my degree.

Working towards getting to a better place on the job front, but my job doesn't define who I am or the happiness I derive out of life itself. Nor do I think that the 4.5 years I spent at TAMU will be the pinnacle of the fun times in my life. No one period is, tbh.

Life has many seasons. Learn to enjoy all of them for what they are to the fullest that you can instead of pining for days gone by.
