Did you end up with a job related to what you studied for?

I think I am lucky as I am in a job that I am have been studying. I studied IT in college and is now working as a programmer. But I know many people whose job is unrelated to their studies. And yet, they are doing pretty well and I will say that whether it is related simply help us start our career but doesn't have much effect on whether we finally succeeded.

nope- i went to a business college in 1991-1993 for office management. i was supposed to get help getting a job when i graduated, got a call a YEAR later from some cable company. i was working in an office, but i hated it because i was alone and for other reasons. then i went to work at walmart and now i work at a nursing home.

I have a master's degree and it has been absolutely useless in finding employment. In fact, I am certain it has prevented me from getting job offers. The thinking is "overqualified, so he won't stay". I actually intended to get a very different degree and told the enrollment adviser that, but he assured me the program he was recommending was the right one. Great.

Partly if and partly not, I have studied to be guardavidas and have worked of it, but also I have studied other things and worked of other things in my life.

me.. I trained and studied for 10 years to be a doctor.. practiced for only 5 years and turned entrepreneur tycoon in the pharmaceutical world..not exactly medical practice but medicine..

i got a master degree.i think the major you studied for is no necessary relate to your job, however, if you lack of experience and skill ,it is no opportunity. you may think that the major is a necessary condition of employment.

actually yes, i work as a secretary right now which is what i went to school for many years ago. as for my hubby, he went to school for accounting and started off that way, went into the computer field for 20 years and is now back to accounting.

My studies are no where near related to what I do currently. I studied computer sciences while in college, now I work in the Agricultural Industry. I do on occassion have the opportunity to do a little work with computers inside of the fish houses but not very often.
