Gap year secondary question

[Bada Bing]

I'm a nontraditional student and have 3-5 years post-college work experience under my belt. Secondary questions about gap years tend to fall into two categories:
1) what have you done since graduating?
2) what have you done since graduating and why?

I can answer the first easily, but the second is more challenging. I've done the work I do because I find it interesting, it pays the bills, etc. The volunteering I've done because it's for causes I care about (and I want to get into medical school ). Are those reasons fine / am I just overthinking this?

Thanks all!

I think its good to talk about why you found your work interesting, causes you care about, your passions in general.

paying the bills is also a reason to list
