Graduated from university this April; after many years of doing the work/study juggle, family stuff, life stuff, money stuff, etc.... i completed my honours in cultural anthropology.
I completed research projects; I feel I am a better writer and researcher, and learned a lot.
# of people coming to my graduation? None.
Partner will be working that day and have no family here so it will be me and myself.
I guess I will take myself out to celebrate afterwards.
This is not sad at all
😀

Katrina, you've chosen an interesting and enjoyable topic/field, I'm an archaeologist and geologist for 40 years. Please learn a backup skill. Jobs come in sporadic spaces, and unless you fall into just the right one, you will be constantly looking for new work and trying to fill in me in between times. Not that there's anything wrong with that, he said looking back over 40 years.
@FireMonkey Thank you for sharing your experience. I am a mature student, and had the backup skill first. I work in healthcare as an RMT here in Ontario - I would like to transition into working for an NGO or public service work here but haven't started that networking yet - but your point is well taken, especially since staying in the academy now is a bit of a dumpster fire, at least here.
