It’s a great reminder that while we pursue our passions and interests, there are often unexpected realities waiting on the other side of graduation.
I especially resonated with the comment about Nursing/Med School—never-ending school definitely feels like a rite of passage for those in the medical field! And the Engineering one is spot on—it’s almost like we sign up for a lifetime of problem-solving only to be the scapegoats for any mishaps.
