[Randi]

OCC ~ Orange Coast College

Graduated (almost) with a measly AA degree in Electro/Mechanical Design, but was originally going to school for art and music. I wanted to be a starving artist at first, but thought better of it once I had kids.

I fell into a lucrative design job & quit school, and I'm still working for the same company (25 years later).

Damn, I should be retired by now!

It would be interesting to see how many of you folks are actually working in the field you went to school for.

~Randi

[shaggy125]

Tanya, unless you smoke or get in an unforunate accident and need to be put on life support, I doubt you will ever need my services :2thumbs: . All this brings up another question, on the one uutah trip I went on to Lomatium (spelling?) and Tierdrop there were a bunch of guys who had degrees in one thing, but work doing something totally different. How many actually use their degree? After changing my major twenty times a big factor in my decision of what I do was the schedule. I now work 6 12's in a row, have 4 days off, then work 3 more and have 8 days off. I'm sure I'll be sticking with this for quite a while :five: . Just wondering what others have done?

Since the Philosophy Store was not successful, I went to law school. :haha:

[Alex]

shaggy, statistically there is only 40% of people work in their Bachelor field. I did the same thing as you did, changed my major about 5 times and after 10 years of schooling finally decided on the fastest degree possible to graduate, which ended up being my favorite subject (Psychology). My Masters was a lot closer to what I do now.

[jumar]

My specialty with my CS degree was networking. My weak area was databases. So now I do data warehouse consulting. Not a huge diversion, but still doing something I studied very little.

My degree is Mining Engineering, and I work at a copper mine.

I'll be a miner for life. No way I could switch gears now, I've invested too much time and work to get to where I am now. Besides, the perks are great! :2thumbs:

[Iceaxe]

I knew from the time I was in 7th grade that I would eventually be a structural engineer and always gear my schooling in that direction. I spent my 7th grade summer working in an engineering office and learned that designing big stuff looked like a lot of fun (and it is).

The day I turned 16 I signed a contract and became a professional motorcycle racer.... never went to high school much after turning 16, but I did graduate through a program the local school district had set up just for youngin's who were professional athletes. In my high school we had three professioanal atletes... myself, a free style skier and a rodeo guy.

Because of my racing it took me 8 years to get through college as I could only attend during the off season. But I kept at it as I knew what I wanted to do when I retired from racing.....

I love my job.... :banana:

:popcorn:

[Cirrus2000]

OK, further to the School of Hard Knocks: I spent a couple of semesters at a couple of local community colleges around Vancouver (high school with ashtrays), then went to work for my dad. I was a sales rep, dealing in cough & cold, food & drug, retail & wholesale. Hated it - too much stress. Quit & went to work in a granite processing plant. Enjoyed the work - cutting granite blocks into slabs, polishing and dimensioning them. Good wholesome physical labour. (Low wages.) Then I had a nasty accident - my left knee will never be the same, after 1800 lb of granite fell on it. I went back to the same place after rehab, but looked at other possibilities.

A friend was an air traffic controller - I went to visit him at work, and decided "If Tony can do this, I can do this." So I applied, took the aptitude test, did the interview, got the security clearance and the medical.

Then the schooling began. Transport Canada Training Institute, Cornwall, Ontario. They say that the 6 month course was about equivalent to 3 years of college. It was intense. Very intense. (I loved it!) Our class did well, though - 75% made it through. Many classes were around the 50% -or less - mark.

After that, it was on the job training. You weren't in the clear until completing that and getting your license signed. Those who didn't were on the street, with a useless piece of paper saying they'd completed a course in VFR and IFR air traffic control. Worthless for anything else.

So, I'm in the field I trained for (without college), and I honestly can't imagine doing anything else - I love my job.

Ironically, I keep thinking that I'd like to take some sort of schooling, just for fun. So many things I'm interested in. I'm a very intelligent guy - really, I am - but traditional school just bores me to tears. I should look into something, though. One of these days...

I attended Dixie Jr, SUSC (SUU now), SLCC and U of U after being thrown out of so many schools I walked into the Army Education office with a wad of transcripts in my hand and asked "what can I get with this"? A few short GRE exams later I became a proud Alumni of the State University of New York Albany through their Regents program with a BS in Sociology. It worked out extremely well because I was working for Xerox full time and they had a relationship with SUNY so they paid all of my testing expenses and flew me to Albany to graduate.

OK, further to the School of Hard Knocks: .

The School of Hard Knocks was my "graduate" school. :haha: I gained more USEFUL knowledge in the real world working and owning a business than I ever learned in school. :2thumbs:

[live2ride]

I am using the Business / Sales part of my degree, I was originally majoring in CJ and had a very good chance to get into the F.B.I (Very close family friend works in Washington and has a major influence) untill he talked me out of it. Best decision I ever made. Now I have been lucky enough to fall into a position with my job that put my at the level of people with 25-30 years of experience and I only have 3.

[accadacca]

U of U - BS Mass Communication, emphasis in Telecommunication and Electronic Marketing. Go figure! :lol8:

I have worked in the field since I graduated. I have worked in radio, TV and web. I decided to stick with web because I really enjoy it. Currently I manage a 10 member web team. Running content, development, design, etc on 35-40 websites in 10 languages. And of course I play on uutah.com every chance I get. :popcorn:

trained for three years in the electronics field to take over working with my Dad at Tooele Army Depot, then had a 'falling out' with him (very stupid mistake) and changed majors to business management at SLCC-yes, Salt Lake Community College - got hired almost immediately as a retail store layout designer(had been doing it for years) for Bennett Paint & Glass -21st S. and 300W...at the paint factory, no, it doesnt exist anymore. Thats how I got into interior design and commercial applications for paint. Had countless certificates from lots of manufacturers & drifted more into management and interior design. Got offered to come up to RockSprings and manage a paint & glass store...thats how I got to Wyoming....then after 12 years I had to change again (to pay med bills) and went to work for the mines....more schooling and training (mineforeman papers) and 14 years later here I am. In the meantime I have run businesses in my 'spare time' all my life...hence the current business, my bikeshop :nod: Id LOVE to go back and finish my business degree... crap...went on a bit didnt I :lol8:

It was hard! They seem related but they are not. That first year working on my MS was so hard!

I always feel sorry for Pharmacists. They worked so hard in school and it seems hard keeping up with filling all those drugs for people.
