let me just start off by saying... i hate my current job...it is so boring, i feel like beating my head against the door every time i walk in this place.

i had a super fantastic job that i left this past summer as a real estate office manager. i had worked there for almost 3 years. i only left bc another "better" job came along at a motorsports company but within 2 months of being at that super fantastic motorsports job, i got laid off and the company went under.

i have had this boring job in an office were everyone literally NEVER leave their cubes EVER. i only took it bc i needed a job in order to keep our standard of living although i did take a pay cut.

hind sight is 20/20 everyone.

I'm a lawyer too. Went to law school for it, but majored in English and studied art history undergrad. Not terribly exciting, but there you have it.

Bcbscorp

Im an A/P Mgr for a Construction Company

No, I went to school to get my teaching credentials but couldn't get a job paying enough to survive on my own. So I got lucky getting into accounting and now I go to school off and on for Business Accounting.

besszilla

I am a Librarian. I went to Library school (MLIS), but they don't teach you how to fix computers and toilets which is what I seem to do most days.

Mattel

After changing my major 5 or 6 times, I managed to obtain my degree in English. And now I am the Director of Marketing for a smaller company that owns/manages insurance agencies. It's relatively boring which is why I spend all day on here. Very soon, I would like to go back to school for nursing, something I started and regret not finishing.

MrGandMe

Have my BFA in Interior Design.   

notelizabeth

i work in financial aid at a career college.

i have a BA in english & philosophy & a MA in philosophy.

so w/the massive amounts of student loans that my education cost me, in a round about way it's relevant to my "career".

or that's what i tell myself to sleep at night.  lol.

MSC03

I work in public relations. I can't say that I love it, but I work with really great people and our company treats us well.

I have a BA in public relations and a BA in mass media news. I worked at a PR firm right out of college and hated it. I then worked in event planning and sales for 4 years and loved it, but the company treated us like garbage and paid me crap, so I left. That's why I am where I am. I don't know what's next.

Pamela05

I'm an instructor at a nuclear power plant.

I got a degree in nuclear engineering, but my current job doesn't really put that to use.  The degree is too specialized for that I'm doing now.  I don't plan to be in the job forever though.

mgmccauley

Lizard2022

I'm a paralegal.

I have my BA in English and Linguistics and a Post-Bachelors degree in Paralegal studies.  I'm doing what I went to school the second time for.  Even though I nonly graduated two years ago, I'm thinking about changing careers.  No offense to the lawyers here, but I'm tired of baby-sitting grown men who blame me for the work they didn't get done.

I have 4 classes left until I receive my Biology degree. I had to take a year off due to finances, but I'm hoping to finish those this summer.

I'm hoping to be a SAHM and looking to start a photography business, so most likely won't use my degree.

Shar77

I am the Director of Special Events for an event space/private club in DC. 

 I have 2 degrees, one in psychology (BA)  which I don't use but I feel that it helps me deal with my crazy clients and the second is in Event Managment...which I guess I use!
