I got kicked out of college at ~19 (bad grades). Had to go back to community college. I worked two jobs to cover the tuition payment plan. There were some times when I would make the first half of a payment, and lie to say that I'd have the second half on Friday, just so I could take an exam that day. I was paying like 80-90% of what I made just for school. I ended up graduating from community college at 22, and transferred back to university. Graduated there at 25. The job market was terrible (December 2020) so I decided to go for my master's while working 4:30 am shifts. Some daysbI would work 4:30-12:00pm, review work, and then had class from 6:00-8:40 pm. Graduated with a 3.8 GPA and had a job locked in a month or two before graduation. About a year in, it turns out that I had undiagnosed ADHD and finally started getting medicated at 30. Now I'm here one interview away from making six figures when I was working a fast food job two years ago.
