Never a graduate student, but I made the choice to not study computer science in undergrad because I didn't want a lifestyle of sitting behind a computer. Fast forward 8 years and... I'm a full time remote software developer sitting alone in front of a computer. I tried education for a few years but it didn't pay enough and the work was difficult due to lack of school resources and lack of support. Switched into tech because I knew I had the technical ability to pull it off, and the salary seemed comfortable. It does feel a bit sad that I spend my time working on random corporate marketing websites instead of helping people learn, but at least I can support my family enjoy a rich life outside of work (including some development side projects). Even though my eventual major isn't relevant to my current work I still think college was very worth while. I took mostly classes that interested me rather than follow a specific career path and I learned so many things that still feel relevant in other ways.
