Blair11884

Is your job related to your degree?

 

I graduate in May with a degree in General Studies with a major in Social Science and a minor in Business. I will be starting teacher certification this summer to become an elementary teacher.  Just wondering what other moms out there are doing and if your degree is at all related to your profession.

I work in special events, which is sort-of PR and I'm a photographer, which utilizes my minor.

shouldbworkin

BA in Social Science and JD.  I work in legal/compliance for a company, so pretty related to my 2nd degree.

Amanda&Chris

Yes, I have a B.S. in Marketing and a J.D. (law degree).  I'm a SAHM.

penguingrrl

My degree is in history.  Prior to having kids I worked in a history museum and loved it, but it paid very poorly (my teacher friends made more than 3x what I was making!!!!) so I left that to become a SAHM right before my older daughter was born.  Now I'm looking for work, but will take anything I can find, which likely means receptionist/office manager type work rather than a job that uses my degree.

alicia11780

Yes, college graduate.  No, job is not related to degree.

I have a degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering but am a SAHM.  In fact, I was NEVER able to get a job using my degree after college and so I ended up not using it at all.  Total waste of 4 years IMO.

heyitsme

Yes, and sort of.

Yes I have a bachelor's degree in Theology with a minor in English/writing. I work for a Christian publishing company. The theology degree comes in helpful, but it's my minor that I'm really putting to use.

misses625

Yes and yes.  I am an English teacher and my degree was in English Ed.

ilovemygirls

I have a BS from a PAC-10 school.  The work I do is sort of related to my degree, but not exactly.

Andrewsgal

Yes I am a college grad, I have my BS in Special/Elem Ed and a masters in autism/behavioral studies. I worked as a behavior specialist before I became a SAHM, but still use my behavior degree everyday as a SAHM.

BubblyToes

Yes and yes, I'm a pharmacist with a PharmD.

jettagurl

Yes and no (now) 

I have a BA - dbl major in Athletic Training and Sports Admin.  Before being a SAHM (after DS1) I used it working as a therapist for an ortho surgeon, then again working clinic for another surgeon before DD1.  Then I got a desk job in the medical field, so semi-related, doing Medicare compliance for for a health equip company.  Now I SAHM again. I'll return to my most recent job at some point part-time, and plan to go back for either my MBA or another BA in Business....and possibly a minor in graphic design.  My husband will eventually in the next couple years start his own electrical company and I'll manage that, and I'd like to do my own graphic design company on the side. I'll probably never go back to Athletic Training - the pay sucks and it's very long hours and very political.  And a lot of Orthos (where you get normal hours) don't like both female ATCs and ATCs with family obligations.   

Mrs.Tony

Yes and I have my Juris Doctorate. I am a practicing attorney.

Jamaica_Bride

Yes to both. I have my BS in molecular bio and chemistry and I work in the biotech field.

Yes, I have an undergrad degree in writing/English & also business. I have an MBA as well. My current job uses both skills. I work for an online media/software company. 

stcroixbride

Yes, I have a BA in Politics with a minor in Sociology and an MPP in Public Policy.

My current job has very little to do with my degree - I work PT for my friend's market research company.  It was the right opportunity at the right time.

Before, I worked for an education related membership association (non-profit) in the public policy department.  I also worked in the government relations department at an internship program - many universities used it for their DC semester program.

ryry1977

Yes, Psychololgy/Sociology.  And nope.
