Definitely didn't do the survey because I haven't had time to read all my emails lately (and/or I spend too much time reading emails at work and my brain doesn't want to do that off the clock!). But it's on my mental to-do list!
My master's degree did not end up having any effect on my career directly, but I think indirectly the accomplishment gave me something to be proud of and rewarded/reminded me of my passions. Someday I would like to try being an adjunct professor on the side, but I too have a job that ticks all the boxes for now. It is so easy to get caught in the privileged trap of seeking the "dream job" - it's not always there for everyone, and sometimes the tradeoffs for the dream job make the rest of life suffer. I aim now to have a job that I can enjoy which allows me to live a life I can enjoy, and that is what I've got right now
