4)Did you have to pivot and go back to school at a later time?

First, I admire your enthusiasm and the time you took to formulate those questions. Having written that, I notice that you have had few or no responses. This happens because, despite your interest, people who respond here are focused on giving advice and suggestions to students, not on telling their career stories in such detail that it might take hours to write. So, my suggestion to you is this:
Instead of writing survey questions about OUR lives, consider what is important to YOUR life and take advantage of the many career professionals here who will be happy to respond to you. I want you to succeed and to receive positive benefits from this forum. Please reconsider and write a new post about what interests YOU for a career. I wish you the best.
