Thank you! This is great advice and something I need to focus more on.

I think a little cynicism may be necessary when going into this field. Great to meet another non traditional professional. Greatly appreciate your take and will keep it in mind when contemplating future decisions. Best of luck!

Great to hear from you! Will be following your work closely. Thanks for the advice!

If you were a 31 yo attempting further education what is some advice you would give yourself? I have a solid paying job at a hospital where I can stay employed by working one shift every 3 months and very few major responsibilities such as children. #ecology #wildlife #research #herpetology

Thank you!
