Good for you.
I Aced all 8 yrs of Latin, in HS and College. I enjoyed it.
My Dad was a Chemical Engineer w/ Allied Chemical, after he received multiple degrees on WWII’s GI Bill, after he was wounded in The Battle of The Bulge, as a Combat Engineer, with Patton’s 3rd Army. He passed in 2018, at 95.
Were you a Chemical Engineer?

I switched from ChemE to EE. I also used my GI Bill for schooling.
I do electrical distribution design now. There’s a ton of work that will continue beyond my death.
I try to steer younger men into my field.
We’re undermanned and old. It’s heavily conservative white males, so no HR BS to deal with.

Sounds like your Dad was tough and intelligent…good combo.
We could use more like him. :)
