I have a finance degree and I use it every.single.day.

In 2 months I will have a law degree as well. Honestly not sure if I will use it in the traditional sense. Think I will just use it to further my banking career and get into the regulatory side of things.

I have a BSN (BS of Nursing) and am using it. I've been a NICU nurse since I got out of nursing school.

hecallsmecat · March 2012

I don't use my Bachelor's in English and Secondary Education. I was a high school English teacher for a year and hated it.

I use my Master's in Early Childhood Education because I manage a child care center. Even though I am on extended maternity leave (1 year down, 1 to go!) I figure that I still use it because everything I learned influences what I do with Saoirse.

I also plan to start my own child care center or activity center in my area around this time next year. Maybe later, we'll see how things go with the new baby.

jk4ever · March 2012

I have a BS in exercise science, which I don't use in the traditional sense, but that knowledge has proven useful frequently. I have a BS in nursing, which I do use as a practicing RN

Rob & Tori · March 2012

I have an accounting/IT degree and use them every day.

swimiz500 · March 2012

Nope, and I never have. I have a BS in Sport Management, and I ended up working for 4+ years in schools and with children with behavioral issues or autism. I spent 3 full years working with a little boy in an elementary school, and he was on the autism spectrum. Then, after I quit that job, I substitute taught at a private kindergarten. Now, I SAH. I would like to coach some day, but otherwise I doubt I will ever use my degree.

krissymac · March 2012

Yes, full time working mom here with a B.S. in Business Admin. Nothing specialized, but all I wanted was the paper. I'm applying for a promotion and the hiring manager told me she narrows down her applicants to see who has degrees, so it should help me.

Firefly9 · March 2012

I have my MLIS. While I'm not a full-fledged librarian, I do work in a university library as a staff member, so yes, I do use it, but not to its full extent.

I have a BS in nutritional science/dietetics. At this point, I only use it in my personal life. I would love to go back and get my masters and become a registered dietician--to work in corporate wellness. In my FT job I am a survey design specialist--I proof, edit, and build surveys.
