Nothing like what some of y'all have been through. But not having a better career plan going into college. I should have gone to a bigger school with more career connections. I had the resume out of highschool for the Ivy's but I didn't even try.
At the same time, coming from a sheltered tiny town of a thousand in rural Iowa, I'm not sure I could have handled anything bigger than what I did. My college brought me along into the big world at a comfortable pace to the point that I did a study abroad in the Middle East my senior year. That definitely shaped me in a way that I'm happy with today. But my earning potential is probably permanently hampered by the school. Best and worst thing that ever happened to me.
