Ralo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Are you really working in the field of what you got your degree on? I'm not and I have a finance degree.Yes. Associate's degree in Materials Mgmt, undergrad in MIS, and an MBA. My current job allows me to work closely with all three. Timing is everything though . . . I know many folks who got business degrees and ended up teaching. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I don't think any of my friends with Liberal Arts degrees actually use their degrees. The ones with English, Creative Writing, Psychology, Political Science etc....all started out waiting tables or teaching. My engineering degree got me exactly one job. But I'm still here 12 years later. Although it was an engineering degree, the classwork taught me very little. Experience has been the greatest teacher of all, by far.
