Have you Ever Switched Your Job Line?

hey, changing one's major and doing jobs irrelavent to one's education is quite common because we have to love what we are doing not doing what we love sometimes. besides, when we chose our major we might be too young and uncertain, so it is natural to alter directions of career. i myself divert my line abruptly. it's cool and challenging.

In a world that is changing so fast it is logical to change job lines to be successful. A study has found that most successful people have changed their line atleast thrice. Formal education is good but everyday is also a learning experience & if we use our practical experience to make a living rather than the formal education, i do not think that it is a waste of money. If a techinical education does not translate to source of livelyhood then i think that it is this education thaty is a wsate of time & money rather the career choice.

Personally, I am with electronics engineering background. I suppose I am one the of the many has switched field. Currently, the stuff I am doing is more related to information technology. Even though, both seems to be technical field but the knowledge needed is totally different. Therefore, I have been learning from fresh all this time. Sometimes people just need to be flexible with interest, environment and the opportunity around.

Actually I finished a business course but I worked as a secretary so there's a world's difference between my course and my job. There are many cases nowadays working with different field. Because of financial crisis and limited opportunities in our society with professionals, it is not surprising that everybody is in the wrong line of job. But personally I did not find anything wrong with this as long as you are enjoying what you are doing and you are earning enough, it doesnt matter.

I am guilty of this. I have a degree in elctronics but took a job in assembly because the pay was better than entry level of my chosen profession..then because of my degree..I started a troubleshooting position within the company and before I could even get settled in, I was thrown in management. Weird how things work out. I think it's important to be versatile in todays job market. It's worked out ok for me.
