Do you use it? Do you love/hate it?
I have an AA and don't technically use it. Trying to go for nursing now!
-
I have an associates in science and an associates in nursing - plan on getting my bsn soon!!
-
I have a BS in Accounting. I'm an accountant so, yes, I use it every day. I don't LOVE my job but I don't hate it.
-
@Ash: oooh another nursing student! yay
are you working as a nurse now? My community college recently implemented a BSN program that can be taken on campus through another state uni. So thankfully I don't have to get the AA first then transfer -
Elementary Ed. I sorta use it. I'm teaching pre-k, which is technically Early Childhood Ed, but since I did my student teaching in kindergarten, I think it's close enough. In the next year or so, I'll be getting my birth-K add on license.
-
I have a BS in Biology and I'm currently using it. I think I picked the right major. I'm glad the high school career questionnaire I took was right!
-
@Mrs. Pen: That's awesome. I hope our CC does that before I get my bsn - I don't wanna drive too far to get it but there are online options around here I might consider.
& yep, I work as a floor nurse - peds & ob - best job ever!
-
I have a BS in Accounting Information Systems. I use the accounting, not so much the information systems. But it's nice to have the background.
-
I have a BS in public relations and journalism and have been using my degree ever since I graduated all those years ago. (Even though I'm currently jobless.)
I also have an MFA in creative writing. Technically I don't use it, but it does help in my profession to know how to be a good storyteller.
-
I have a BA in communications and rhetorical studies with an emphasis in advertising. I Minored in psych & art history, and am a few credits short of getting my certificate on multimedia.
I run my own graphic design studio, so I sort of use my degree
-
I have a BA in History and a MA in Library Science. I currently work part-time at a public library (and as a nanny 3/4 time), so I do use my master's degree
-
BA in English with a minor in history
I loved it, and I definitely use it as a journalist. My parents were both English majors, too, and they are lawyers.
-
@Ash: oh really? an online nursing program? major downside to program here is it's days, during the week... which will clash with my job
Since it involves so many clinicals they don't offer anything alternative.
-
I went to school for political science and journalism. I work in corporate communications...so a little bit related to journalism, but definitely not poli sci.
-
Theatre, with an emphasis in costuming and stage/special effects makeup.
I dont use it... Mostly because its useless.
Im headed to nursing school too!
-
I have a degree in medical assisting. It was a trade school so I went specifically for that. I do not use it though, unfortunately.
-
I have a BA in sociology and criminology. I don't really USE it I suppose, although it's hard to regret a degree that shaped your viewpoint on the world. I guess I'm glad I have that knowledge, even if I don't use it for my job.
I also have a law degree. I do use it, as I'm an attorney. But I don't like my job and I'm trying to transition to photography. Again, it's hard to regret the degree because I met some of my best friends in law school and it helped shape me as a person-- but hopefully I won't be using it professionally for very long.
-
BS in environmental science, and a masters in public policy (focus on environmental policy/natural resource management)
-
@Mrs. Pen: Well, it's online if you do rn-bsn track. Otherwise, where I went to school, it was 3-5 days a week on campus including clinicals. I had to work afternoons and weekends to make it through school but it was only 2 years and completely manageable.
Good luck!! Let me know if you need anything!
-
BS in Management and I don't use it. I'm planning on going to nursing school in the future... I wish I had gone right out of high school!
-
I have a BA in Sociology, which is a fairly useless degree in and of itself, but I went straight on to get my Master's in Social Work. I used my social work degree for many years.
I also am 3/4s of the way done with my master's degree in elementary education, obtained through an alternative certification program. I was taking the classes whilst teaching for my two years with the program so I guess I sort of used the education?! The program was designed so we could complete the program independently if we so chose, but I moved to Australia to be with DH and didn't bother.
-
Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Marketing. We moved to a super small town 3 days after we finished university, so after a year of living here I'm in my current role. I use it I think. I'm in sales, but advertising sales. So I help my clients come up with marketing plans. No one else I work with has a university degree, so it wasn't required.
-
I have a BA and MS in Accounting...I am an auditor so yes I use it every day. I actually love my job - odd as it may sound to love being an auditor!
-
I have a BA & an MA in Communication Sciences & Disorders. I'm a speech language pathologist so I use them. I also have to have a license, certificate, and a credential from various other organizations and boards in order to practice.
-
I have a BA (majored in psychology) and then decided to switch to nursing. Unfortunate that I had to go back to school but because I already had a BA I was able to do a BSN in 18 months.
@Mrs. Pen: Glad to hear that you have a more convenient BSN option now! Yay nursing
-
BA in English, minor in writing...I use it as a journalist!
-
I have a BA in Political Science and a MA in Museum Studies. While I am at SAHM now, I have worked in museums for the last decade, so yep, I used it!
-
My degree is in Special Education, and I do use it! Currently getting my master's in Autism, so I definitely think it'll stick, haha.
-
BA in History, Masters in Secondary Education. Yes, I use it as a school administrator.
-
BA in Linguistics. Don't use it, mostly because it's pretty useless
I got married right out of college and got pregnant right away, so didn't exactly have the chance to use it either -
BS in Organizational Communication, Learning and Design. I definitely used it in my pre-SAHM career.
-
I have a BA in Communications with an emphasis in Digital Media. 4 jobs into my career and I've never not used it! I'm glad because it was expensive!!
-
I have a bachelors and masters in social work. I am a practicing social worker, but in not really sure that I can say that I use a lot that I learned in school. Social work is much more on the job learning than classroom learning.
-
BS and MS in Chemistry. I work in the chemical industry so I would say I use it.
-
Merchandise Marketing
-
I have a BS in Chemical Engineering - I don't use it at all in my current job. I don't like my job much and am thinking about a career change after LO arrives.
-
BS in Marketing and Finance and I ended up in accounting
-
English with a technical writing specialty, and counseling. I work in public health where I use my counseling degree, and I hate it. I would like to change gears and focus on something with my English/writing degree.
-
Bachelors and Masters degrees are both in social work. I work in social work, but I'd definitely have to agree with @babynumber1: social work is much more on-the-job and intuitive work than actual school work. Too bad that actually GETTING a job in social work still requires the advanced degree. /c:
-
I have a BA in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising and Public Relations. My minor is in Sociology. I do use it, I am a marketing and public relations coordinator at a non-profit. If I ever go back I'd like to go for a degree in atmospheric science.
