I got an undergrad degree in math and realized that I needed to do a lot of maturing if I were to succeed in grad school. So I got a job which locked me in for 3 years (due to the intricacies of vesting), and since I work nights, I eventually decided that I needed a house so I could actually get sleep, which has locked me in to my situation for at least 3 more years (because of a requirement of the housing credit).
So yeah, I am currently stuck right where I am.
However, my job is at the university, which means that I can take free classes. That’s how I learned about income tax. I tried to jump into stats grad classes, but I think taking Bayesian Statistics at the same time as its prerequisites was a bit too much to handle at once. I’m now working on getting a CS degree, since the Bayes class is only offered every other aeon. I also decided that I had too little practical knowledge, so I took up a metal smithing class, and do a little construction on the side in the summers. Thus, while I am nominally stuck, I have steadfastly refused to stick to one thing.
I have no real idea what I’m going to do with my life. I don’t feel like I have Something To Protect,, which bothers me, but I have a strong urge to Become Stronger. My decisions have been without long-term aim. Even as an undergrad, I switched between majors from CS to Psych to History before settling on math, mostly because I felt that it would close the fewest future doors.
So in short, I have been guided by a sense of biding my time, trying to gain financial resilience, and trying to help friends and family also gain resilience. I have yet to decide what I will be doing.
