Do you practice the profession you have graduated for?

To start with, currently, I'm working as a graphics artist and I have been in this industry for more then 12 years. I have graduated as a broadcast major, mass communications course and I don't know how I ended up this field. Although it's not far from the course which I really took but it limits the talking. Most of my classmates in college found their niche in the industry and even succeeded but as for me, I have grown to designing and creating stuffs in the computer. One of the reasons why I took up that course is because of letting out your expression. People in Media always express themselves, talk about things and react to things when they feel it. But for me, I am also a talker but I find pleasure interpreting it into designing. Before I was working on a printing press, I had fellow designers who also are not into their chosen field. Some graduated as a nurse and even registered or license. Some are accountants, dentist and medical technologist. I don't know how this had happened but people are coming out to be themselves. How about you? Are you currently practicing the profession you graduated for?

Nope, not really. When I moved abroad I switched fields, kind of out of necessity and also because I wanted to. I have no regrets though!
