Probably stop being afraid of what others thought of me and not spend the next 7 years pretending to be someone I'm not. I've only recently started to accept myself and I'm seeing the psychological toll it took on me.

Keep studying.

Not doing bad right now, but a science career has always been my dream. I'm sad now, and you will be responsible if I start crying in front of the computer. Bad, bad person ... ;)

So after my dad died we moved back to Utah. My uncle get me into a geek technology college, so I kind of am living my life as if I were 21 again. Some study said a lot of people have different actual biological ages. I dunno I guess I just always felt 4 or 5 years younger than my actual age. At this point I just tell people I'm 22 since I really only started living my life a year ago leading up to starting over here.

I'd be more grateful of the opportunities I had, be smarter about planning out my career, and dump that cheating sob faster instead of letting it drag on for a year.

Basically, you gotta prepare yourself to be able to take opportunities given to you at any moment (in terms of career), because the older you get, the less opportunities you get. Also, run fast and far from anyone who lies and cheats on you- it's most likely not their first time doing so, and even less likely to be their last.

Try to get over the "I'm going to change the world" sentiment. No, I'm not and your not and wasting a college education studying non-profit management is dumb. The people who change the world are people who already have influence. If you do not have a family name, money, or access to friends who can promote you in big circles you are not getting anywhere.

OF COURSE communities are scrambling to have studies done and papers written about whatever their problems are. OF COURSE news media will print your findings. OF COURSE you will be asked to start colitions to address the problem. However, they want you to do it for free! Then if they do come up with money to pay they are not going to give it to you. They will give it to a consultant group who has lobbying power. It's a terrible circle. Rant Warning

I'm so frustrated that I bought into that damn SJW mentality before it ever had a name (back in 2000). I would have been much more useful had I studied IT or biosciences. Then by now I could have a job that supports my family and have money left over to start my own non-profit.

Don't bother going into social sciences. It's just like a liberal arts degree -it doesn't pay! STEM is where it is at. Even if you suck at it - push through. You know why? You can be a secritary at a biotech firm and make more than if you are an Executive Director at a non-profit. That's if you are LUCKY enough to even get hired. In most non-profits they want someone who "fits the culture" (ie flaming liberal who would die for the cause). If you think office politics is bad at your work try a non-profit! Geebez! Alternatively, the other way to leadership is if you were a corporate leader and come loaded with a roladex of ready-made donors. Merit means NOTHING in that industry. There is no such thing as "you can be whatever you want" - that's only true if you have money.

I'm at stay-at-home mom now and honestly, I wish I had done more home ec and 4-H. Now I'm spending time learning how to bake bread from scratch, sew, and do fix-it projects through you-tube. I could have been so ahead of the game if I had just put down my megaphone and focused on learning tangible skills and STEM.
