How many of you actually use your degree?

Just wondering. I have my BA is Speech Communications and was pre-law. I went to law school as well. No I work in software and have for the last 7 years.

I got into it because most attorneys in my state were not making shit, so I looked into software. I have made more over the last 5 years than I ever could have imagined.

Then the economy took a dive and now things look shitty. I am in the process of getting certified through ISSA and NASM, and starting two different on-line companies.

Funny how we all bust our ass and go to school, and come out and do something different....or is it just me!

i think that happens to a lot of people.

i have a BFA in visual art and part of my MFA... when i finish school i'll have a certificate in visual communications... so i'm staying in the field (if i can get a job - i'm being hopeful).

Well, both my BS and MS are in exercise physiology, and I coach as well as spend a little time teaching. It is amazing some of the things I have forgotten, however.

I majored in drug abuse in college, it has gotten me where I am today.

B.S. in Chemical Engineering.
In the midst of MBA.

Now design car interiors and accessories. My boss told me it wasn't so much the degree he wanted - but the way you were taught to think and communicate.

Could be worse though. I could be making better money working for a chemical company. But I would probabley have to live in New Jersey. I'll take what I got.


(that should get a flame or two)

I kindda use it. But not the way my parents were expecting. Too many attorneys here, pay check is very bad for them especially if you're a newbie so fuck it !!!
