I studied English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I teach middle school English & ESL/ELD, so it's fairly close. I didn't go to school with the intention of being a teacher (although I always wanted to growing up.)
You?
-
My degree is in Environmental Science and I am an Environmental Analyst - so yes, related
-
Yup, I majored in architecture in high school and college. I'm a Architect to be.
-
Hey, twin! Haha. I was an English major, too, and also have an MFA in Creative Writing. I'm a Content Strategist so I do a LOT of writing. It's pretty dang close! In fact, I don't think I'd have gotten my job without my graduate degree.
-
Haha not at all. I majored in Cognitive Psych. I'm glad I didn't go into Psychology/Psychiatry!
-
I double majored in International Relations with a concentration in Business, and Economics.
I mean, I guess what I do is business? Haha. And it is international?!
-
I took hospitality/event management and then a certificate in student development.
I work at a university so everything is kind of half related.
-
Yep. Bachelors in Nursing. I'm a nurse
-
English, and I'm a writer and editor so yes
-
Computer Science and I'm a Software Engineer, so yep! Totally related.
-
@mfa_lady: Hey, twin!
Pretty sure MrsJazz has a MFA in CW also. What do you do as a content strategist? I have never heard of the title before.
-
Communications/AD/PR and I'm a marketing and public relations coordinator.
-
@simplyfelicity: Yep, she sure does! Content strategy normally relates to marketing/web content/etc, but at my company we actually write and build training content for sales, retail, and health-related industries. So, I write everything from self-paced workbooks to video scripts. I like it because we get to manage the execution of our projects, too, and I like that human/client interaction part.
-
English and Psychology / HS English teacher...the psych is key!
-
I majored in psychology but my job is totally not in the field!
-
I majored in Biomedical Engineering. My job was immunology research so definitely related.
-
B Comm with a major in Marketing. Worked in advertising before I became a sahm.
-
I have a BS in Business Administration and I'm in finance so yes. But I also have a BA in Classics which was mostly just for fun.
-
Risk Management & Insurance- the coursework had an emphasis on underwriting. However, I work in sales (product distribution) for an insurance carrier.
-
International affairs major. French minor. I'm a translator, so I guess it's close? I did work for a foreign government for a few years.
-
Yes, BS in nutrition and dietetics, and I'm a dietitian.
-
I have a Bachelors in Fine Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design; I work for a small company so I do some design, marketing, photography, and actually now manage the catalog division (sales, purchasing, etc.) when I was just originally hired to design it.
I do more graphic design freelance than I do at work. -
My undergrad is in Journalism and Mass Communication. It's useful, because good communication is useful, but it's not related. My master's is in Human-Computer Interaction and I'm a software designer, so that one is directly related to what I do.
-
I have a BA in Political Science and MPA. I haven't worked outside of the home. I had my son the same semester that I graduated with my MPA. I have been a SAHM ever since. We relocated and built a house during that time. We are settled in our new house now, but I'm not working in my field.
I have published a book and working on book number 2. I am thinking about becoming a professor. -
I was an athletic training major - I worked as a substitute teacher after college and now stay at home...so not related at all, aside from knowing first aid really well.
-
@Mrs. High Heels: just curious, how come?
-
International Studies (MEd in Higher Ed) and I work in International Education currently so yep, related!
-
Yep. Philosophy and Political Science and I am a lawyer.
-
Not related for me. Majored in environmental science, masters in environmental policy/natural resource management, but currently work as a grant administrator in academic health sciences
I'd LOVE to get back into the environmental sector in the next 2-3 years. Looking back I probably would have been better served going to law school and working in environmental law. Oh well, hindsight and all that!!
-
I majored in creative writing and I'm a librarian so not too far off! Love my job too!
-
@Meow: For me personally, I just don't think I'd be able to separate and compartmentalize the work from my personal life. I think it'd be really hard for me emotionally/mentally to take it on.
-
Majored in Philosophy and minored in Jewish Studies. I've been in the legal field ever since (slightly related) and am working on my alternative certification to start teaching high school in the fall. Philosophy works relates to both the legal field and teaching field, I think.
-
Yes; I have a BS is Elementary Education & a MEd in Early Childhood Education and I'm a teacher.
-
Majored in accounting and finance but I'm a SAHM so not related, although I have a pretty fierce household budget and I can do our taxes! Before SAH I was a CPA so that was related.
-

-
BA in Spanish Literature & Latin American Studies
MA in Spanish and ESL educationI'm a teacher, so yes, directly related. Although Iworkedfor 5 years in academic publishing before teaching, so that was not related to my major.
-
I did a double major in physics and space science. My MSc was in Imaging Science, which was a prerequisite of my current position, so they are all definitely related. My work actually sponsored my masters.
-
My major was in engineering and I'm an engineer. I did take a detour to get an architecture degree, but I don't really use that now.
I'd LOVE to get back into the environmental sector in the next 2-3 years. Looking back I probably would have been better served going to law school and working in environmental law. Oh well, hindsight and all that!!
