Thanks for sharing! I saw on your comment on another post that you went to grad school, may I ask what you majored in and what degree (PhD/masters) you sought for? I ask as I am in a very similar situation, thanks!
@99thpercentileordietryin May I ask what major your were and whether you were a PhD or a masters degree? Asking as I am almost exactly in the same situation, and I'm applying for the next cycle.
