Did your career path line up with your education?

I sunk myself deeply into debt for a college degree in psychology. Yes, I was able to use it, and the job was nothing short of a nightmare. I've never been around more miserable people in my entire life, and the pay was shit. They would not train me, and they were constantly punishing me for not doing what I didn't know to do. I told them to shove it any which way they prefer, and now I'm blowing up shit in the surface mines for damn good money. I never thought I'd be here. I ran into an old friend at a gas station. He said, "Where you working?" I said, "I ain't, but I'm looking." He made a quick phone call, and I was hired. I have more certifications than I can even shake a finger at, 100 percent of my health insurance is covered, and the people I work with are the best damn bunch of folks you've ever met. It all worked out. My life was shit going into a Chevron, and it changed by the time I left. When people ask me about my job now, I get to tell them that I blow shit up. We're not only hired out by the mines. We make explosives for the military, as well.
