Gap year(s)

[smilingcat]

First of all, I would like to apologize to anyone who was hurt with my comment about my sister being the only one... Part of it has to do with my family dynamics.

Regardless, I do apologize to those who may have been hurt by my insensitive comment. We all take different life path and no single path is the right one. What is the right path for you is that you are happy and content with the decision you make. I think that is what makes life worth while.

sincerely,

Smilingcat

I didn't mind. Not offended in the least. I think this is a great discussion and always good to take stock of the past. Who said something along the lines of "the unexamined life is not worth living" something like that. Socrates, I think? Anyway ...

if I could rewind there's lots I'd do differently but then there'd also be a lot I'd miss. Maybe this is another thread: If you could go back and talk to younger you what would you say? I'd tell her:

There are 2 year degrees and certifications. Get some while catching up in community college and then gone on.

You love cooking your way through school (sometimes, and at some of the eateries). Stay with it.

Do not listen to the advisor at CCA who said "Major in design, that's where the jobs are. There's no future in illustration"
