I can always relate to this thing, job mismatching. I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Economics but I landed to be a human resource – hiring officer with my present employer. Well, it just happens to come into my mind now when one of our employees here filed for a leave of absence to attend his son’s school graduation. Yes, graduation days are now fast approaching and I am now wondering how many other graduates will land to jobs far from his obtained degrees.
How about you, can you relate on this?

well, i believe its not a coincidence why you were able to be in that position maybe God is just preparing you for something bigger in the future wherein you will be needing such experience at work... What you think? coz i think so. since every thing happen in our lives God has a great purposes whether the way is hard and looks seemed bad but at the end it will be for our best... so girl, just enjoy being there coz also He can have some people whom he loved to give a job and comes your way that you will be his partner fulfilling that answered prayer to that certain peole that if the one sitting in that position is ur other colleage he or she might not accept that applicant... just a thoughts and encouragement for you...

to be honest more people have jobs different from the courses they took when they were in college. after graduation its basically open game in job hunting. you might get a job that you dont know anything about but thats why most company train you in the work that they will assign to you.
i studied communication and always wanted to work in tv or film production. but i ended up being sent abroad as a manager of a factory.

Things happen... Remember Murphy's Law? :P
In fact it is quite common for people not to work where they studied for. In some industries, there is just an over supply of right candidates. :/
