I studied urban planning in college and I admit I am a bit of an idealist. But I'm also a realist and sometimes things just don't work out for people.
Having said that, in my original post I mentioned that I'm studying data analytics. The HOPE is to get work at some kind of a social good organization. I've just been taking jobs to pay the bills all my life and I would love to pay the bills AND improve the world, in whatever tiny way I can. That's the plan, anyway.
