y'see, i studied X to become Y

I was gonna teach and tutor but didn't really have the requisite crack-the-whip classroom skills
so
on the rebound emotively from being told 'go substiitute for a while and learn'

i said heck with you all
i'll go back and get another degree in sky collogy
which worked well
except

(and this is some thing it would have been wisdom to consider 'ere I plunged the twiced)

when working with clients rather than with mechanisms and mechanos as i had done heretofore
i cared very much
see
when i was working in the engineering field
yes yes yes
i cared
but
not as much
that is
i always strove to do my best
yet it didn't grab me like
working with people's souls does

and so when i was in the eneginerering field
i left it at the office and also the numbers didn't fight one so
as do the humanities

oddly
one gets higher recompense for building than for souls
