[Abaddon]

How many of you work in a field unrelated to the degree/certificate/whatever you obtained?


Are you happy with your choice?

 

[Badger]

My degree relates to my field. I'd be happier if I stuck with my first planned degree, but I make more money in this field.

 

[Abaddon]

what was your first planned degree in?

 

[Badger]

Teaching PE / Coaching Football and Track.

I have a Criminal Justice Degree, I teach Political Geography, but alot of what I learned in college relates to what I teach......so all in all, yeah I guess I have a job semi....within my degree.

 

[tzarinna]

I don't have a degree. When I was in college my major went from TV/Film to Gerontology. Then I just got tired of watching people I cared for die.
So a got an electrical job and then got into the union which then got me into their apprenticeship. I'm still hoping I can get into TV/Film/Theater with the union. There's a lot of electricians' retiring, more than what they've recruited to the trade.

My degree is for Communications and I work for a dot.com in the Correspondence Dept answering e-mails from customers and clients that we work with....its boring but the pays good

 

[Abaddon]

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Agriculture degree, and my major I studied in college was called Landscape Horticulture, and I currently work as a landscaper. My eventual goal is to become a landscape designer. I'm not to happy with the company I'm working for right now because they've promised me several things, including moving me up to a junior designer position, that they have not delivered on, and the pay isn't the best either. I'm most likely going to be looking into moving to another company soon.

 

[Kritish]

My degree was in International Relations. My job is completely unrelated.

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten a degree in an all but useless subject.

 

[Immortalfire]

Don't have a degree.

 

[Enriquespy]

I was headed towards a degree in Graphic Design(5 classes away), but decided to ditch that to do 3D art and have stuck with that ever since.

 

[Argyle of Sock]

Right now I have no degree and I work in food serivce (I've got to quit; it's sucking my will to live). Is there a correlation? Possibly.

However, I'm on my way to a degree in genetics, but I'd be willing to bet a pretty penny that I'll end up working in an area completely unrelated.

 

[JTStarkiller]

Got my degree in Radio-Television-Film. Now I'm a television producer. Pretty happy with it.

 

[Borax]

Don't have a degree but my some of my qualifications match my line of work and others don't

 

[terry78]

I'm a few credits shy of my business management degree. And by shy I mean about 7 classes. Been going half time for a while, so won't be getting it until the latter half of 2009 probably. I do work at a Fortune 500 though, so....could be a fluke, could not.

 

[Lord Valumart]
