Did any of you here start a college degree or trade school and switch degree/trade fields? I'd be interested in how that turned out.
I left active duty in the 70s and started school as a civil engineer. Got through the hard stuff (Calculus 1, 2 and 3, thermodynamics, abstract algebra) and switched over to PE..yea, I decided I wanted to teach math and coach basketball. Then I decided to get a terminal degree in Physiology...then came the Navy.
Sometimes I wonder how things would have turned out had I gone to a trade school instead as I have long ago grown tired of the vast majority of academia. Except for Homer the grammar coach. ?
What's your story? Any regrets or educational changes?
