'It’s hard work and can be draining, but it’s beautiful.'
. As always, I'd like to thank everyone who shared their stories; in an era of exorbitant tuition prices and economic uncertainty, their candor and willingness to share a diverse range of experiences is an invaluable resource to all of us, no matter where we are in our educational and work journeys."I have a master's degree in American Sign Language interpreting, and I wanted to work for a hospital or in the healthcare system.
"I work as a server now, and while it’s not my ultimate goal, I do like my job a lot and make more money than I ever have in my life. I bring in anywhere from $600 to $1,200 a week, and the perks are amazing. Free food, free drinks, take time off whenever I want, and I can afford my bills.
"I got offered a networking position there about a year after that. I actually didn't break the $100K mark until seven years ago. The best way to make more money is to move to a different company. At first you will work long hours and bust your ass for those 'special' projects, but you realize later that there's always a special project around the corner.""I majored in print journalism, and I’m now a content and web developer for a financial company.
"Ten years later, I'm still a data manager, and mostly enjoy it. In another world though, I'd have a PhD in anthropology and would hopefully be using it.""I got my English creative writing degree in 1997. I had a part-time job that included managing a database. I am now a senior program manager for a tech company managing work for over 100 people and earning nearly $200K a year.
