F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

I know that feeling, anon. My SO is a teacher (which she wanted to be), but even though her first love is English she specifically went into mathematics because there's so many more more job opportunities for math/science teachers than for humanities teachers. She got hired right out of college, unlike a lot of our teacher friends.

I, on the other hand, followed my dreams and actually did eventually manage to get myself a job I love in a field I enjoy, but it was three years' worth of hell getting here.

And by "hell" I mean 80-hour weeks where I did just enough classes for my master's degree to be a full-time student so I qualified for health insurance, did volunteer work for which I was stupendously overqualified at the place that later hired me, and paid for it all with a part-time minimum-wage fast food job for which I regularly had to be up at four o'clock in the morning.
