Was what profession you went into worth it?
I just kind of wonder if people who went into the law/law enforcement field are happy with their choice or if they thought it was worth all that time they spent in school.

I chose to work in IT as a Project Manager, and it turned out to be a great decision. It fits my personality and my career goals perfectly. I love helping both tech-savvy and non-tech people come together to tackle tough problems.

My degree was in business - international business & management - and I ended up in the videoconferencing industry. I did a lot of "jobs" from competitive analysis to product management to product marketing and finally settling in on sales enablement. My advice when deciding what you want to do in your life for work is to focus on a few things: 1) what are you naturally good at? you can figure this out by looking at what comes easy to you and where you kind of lose your sense of time when working. 2) figure out if you're a 'big company" or a "small company" person and veer towards the kind of environment that makes you happy and feel valued. Note that you may need to try both to see what is best for you! 3) the people you work around and with are the most important part of your job - hands down. If you like the people you work with; if they make you feel valued and happy and you can communicate easily and you have fun learning with and from them - then really any job can be fun and worthwhile. Conversely, you can be in the profession you love, doing what you love, in a company that inspires you...and if the people you work with are hard to work with, uncommunicative, gossipy, bitter, etc. - then you'll be miserable. And...BE the kind of person that you want to work with!
