    my guidance counselor for years told me not to go to college

    I’m a software engineer now

    So, you followed his advice I see :D (I’m joking, of course)

    This whole thing about determining your best job or whatever always seemed very weird to me (we don’t do that much here in France). I mean, I did not know what I would do after getting a Ph.D., how the heck is a stranger supposed to know like fifteen years before that.

      No you’re actually right, I didn’t go to college… Because it was expensive, not because of the advice lol

      No clue why they thought it was a good idea. Maybe it was a scare/reverse-psychology tactic to get us to study something specific.
