Now i have another job that my proffesion(in fact I'm engineer),but i think that all this years when I learned and readed help me now:I know how to talk with people,I know how to be a good boss,I know how to make more friends and I know to help my daughter in her homeworks lol! So,even I don't have a job in my proffesion,I don't learned for nothing! What about you? Do you have a job that you learned?Do your knowledge help?

Yes, what I learned back when I was still studying I was able to use now in my work. My major in college was accountancy and fortunately after graduating, I was able to land a job in a bank as an accountant. So I consider myself quite lucky that I am able to put my knowledge to good use.

Yes, the knoledge help me every day when i get in contact with other people, my knoledge help me have a conversation with people, or sharing ideas, because what you learn in school could help you enlarge your general culture. I think it would help me in my job too, if i had one, but unfortunately i don`t.

I am an engineer too, belong to Instrumentation and Automation trade. You may not be employed in the trade you have studied, it doesn't matter. You have some amount of security in what ever you are doing now. Use it to search for and get a job in your specialization and then you can use your knowledge to have a satisfying professional life. Best of luck for that!

Good evening dear friend Thebest1 , let me tell you first that i am actually verry glad for you , because usually sometimes people dont always get the job they have actually studied for , well of course that there are the doctors that they do get to aply what they have learned , so theire knowledge its pretty much important , i for one i am no t yet at that stage in life , now i am wroking and stuingg in the same time , so i cannot say that i am not working at a place that i had made studies for an i could apply the gained knowledge on it , even do i really hope that at the end of the studies that i will get the job that i have made studies for an have the chance to apply the gain knowledge for this job in special . Florin , Over and Out

Yes sometimes knowledge helps me in my life. When I need to know any way then sometimes my knowledge help me to find this. So I think every person should have knowledge about their city and also many things. Because sometime it helps us when we really need of help and nobody can help us. Then our knowledge helps us a lot.

There are two bodies of knowledge I've been involved in, special education and business admin, one quite distinct from the other. But spending a few years helping to run a small home and a special school for the disabled, the orphans and the less fortunate sometimes make me wonder if I've used alot of what I've learnt. Perhaps I have. Perhaps, not so much. But working in the field and the small workshop, without a pay, but for food and some cash to meet our needs, sometimes require knowledge not from the books but more of the lessons of life. Anyway I've never looked back in regret for what I have studied. And I've also valued the lessons I've learnt from the school of life.

What i do have nothing to do my major in my college at all .As for education ministry ,It seems pathetic .In fact ,it is very common in every country .We are not supposed to blame anybody for that .As Gump's mother said ,life is a box of chocolates ,you never know what you are going to get .Maybe the unstability is one reason why we like our lives .what do you say ?

Knowledge is important to us to think and decide what kind of life and path we should follow in our life. Knowledge is given to use in a worthy manner as a human being. It's the information age to us, our ability to generate, classify, collect data and exploit everything is help of our knowledge and it is in decision making of what kind of life we should follow

It should help. But, sadly, for some people, their education is wasted - they get jobs which are not relevant to their degrees. One cause of this, maybe, is that they really do not want the course they took in school.

Knowledge is wisdom. The more you read the more you will gain wisdom. It is never wasted. SOmetimes you will think that your job is not related to whatever you have studied , but trust me if you are getting any new information or learning new skills, you should learn as much as possible, Because you never now when you will get to use this skills in the future.
