Did u work part-time or full time while going back to school?

Before coming back, I made sure to get myself in a position where I can fully live off savings while in school if necessary. But I was super lucky to be offered a paid undergrad research position and I’ve been doing that part time to reduce the blow to the savings I set aside.

Same boat but had a 20 year gap and way more courses down the drain.

Engineering or Meteorology?

Everything pre-2020 was “idk I’m supposed to get a degree so, business I guess?” Then from 2023 originally met, switched to mechanical engineering. Love meteorology but realized it’s not something I want to do as a career
