I thank you for your sacrifices and recognize the number of years you were out of the market not making a wage. And now that you are, you are putting up with crappy hours and miles of red tape.
I was in post grad training for 5 years beyond my BS. I don’t know if a person ever truly catches up to their peers who go straight to work. Both of my brothers went straight to work after their BS and I think they are doing better than me. In fact, I know they are and I am happy for their success.
A person really has to enjoy their profession.

And thank you for your sacrifices as well. People don’t realize how long it takes to catch up not to mention paying off years more student loans
