    I've got two:

    BFA in dance: nope (well, I teach dance but could do that without a degree). Some call the Bachelof of Fine Arts (BFA) a 'bachelor of f- - - all. But I knew that going in.

    B.Ed: yep, it's my career and you can't be a teacher without one

    Bachelors in Business Administration with a degree in Management Information Systems (MIS). I'm a data analyst in the Business Intelligence department for a bank, so I definitely use my degree.

    I have a BS in business administration and I work in banking so yes I use this degree. I also have a BA in Classics. I don't use this but I loved the course work.

    I have a B.S. in journalism, I worked directly in journalism for 9 years and now I'm in marketing but the position is heavy in writing. So I still use it.

    Yes I use it! I have a BS in Biology that helped me get into grad school and now I practice with my doctorate... but only 3 days/week... I still think it was worth it!

    i have a degree in both education & history, but i don't use either. i'm now a photographer, and hope to be a sahm when lo arrives. i think my education degree will help raising our lo, but it probably wasn't worth $80,000.

    I have a BS in Finance and an MS in Information Systems. I worked as a Project Manager for a bank. Now I am a SAHM but I've also completed a certificate in Montessori education for ages 2.5 to 6 and I use that a lot in my day to day.

    I'm working on a phd in the same field I got my BA in (and now I have an MA too), so it's relevant to my current work for sure! we'll see if I get a job though in a few years when I'm done--the academic job market is horrible

    I have a BS in biology/zoology. I did use it when I was working as a high school biology teacher. I often feel like I live in a house full of monkeys so maybe that zoology part is still coming in handy.

    @mrsjazz: Yay, another MFA! Such a rare thing to find online outside of writing forums. Good luck with your poetry.

    I have BS in Biology/Chemistry, a BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and a PharmD (aka- doctor of pharmacy). The BS's were stepping stones for me to get my PharmD and I use that degree every day!

    I have a degree in Mass Communication with a concentration in Public Relations, and a minor in Business Administration. I was in pharmaceutical sales for years and transitioned to medical device sales 2 years ago, and I have used my degree skills every single day for as long as I can remember!!!

    I have a BA in Poli Sci and a Master of Library and Information Science. I currently work as a Librarian in a law firm so I use my MLIS everyday and my Poli Sci degree very indirectly.

    I have a BA in Communication and an MS in Human-Computer Interaction (which I'm guessing no one's heard of). I work at a software company as a User Experience Designer (I'm guessing no one's heard of that either!) which uses my degree. Basically I design software to make it user friendly.

    BS in Packaging. I'm employed in a Sales role...for the flexible packaging industry, and I got the position because of my degree, so I guess it's been worth it!

    I have a BS in Civil Engineering and used it since I graduated as an engineer! Also got my PE license three years ago and that definitely helps.

    I have a BS in accounting and masters in taxation. I don't really use it at my current job (It was important when I was hired though) but am about to be a mostly SAHM working part time during tax season for an accountant so it will come in handy then.

    @Mrs. Tricycle: I have a BS in biological psychology and a BA in English (fiction writing emphasis)-- so I don't think your combo is random! I also have an MPH in infectious disease, a masters in Health Services and an MD. I use them all on a daily basis, but especially the English major since I write so much for work.

    I have a BA in Political Science with a minor in Business. While I did work in politics in DC for awhile, once I moved back to Oregon I focused more on the business side. I run strategic planning for a community hospital which uses a little of both degrees, but also requires a lot I never learned in college, and I own my own wedding planning business, which uses some of my business/mktg degree. I've thought about getting my masters but I'm moving up quickly without it, so why spend the money?

    BA in Hispanic Studies, and I own a bridal business, so no, I don't use it, unless I have a Spanish-speaking client!

    I have both an Associate's Degree & Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with Marketing focus. I have been working in the marketing field for just over 6 years now (ever since graduating with the associate's degree.) So both degrees have been put to use.

    I have a BS in Management Information Systems and I use it (to a degree) in my career currently as a project manager. I used it more when I worked for one of the Big 4 as an IT auditor, but it still comes in handy. Mostly it's taught me how to be a sponge, soaking up information and thinking critically under pressure.
