This is a topic that is curious to me. I know most people on this site are sucessfull and im just curious if you used your college education to get to where you are.

Personally i was in college for an undergrad in bio with intetntion to go to PA school but realized my university only takes 38 of 600 applicants and i wasnt one of those 38. I then went on and got my associates degree in science while i was working for toyota.

I am currently a tech at toyota until my lease runs out then i will be helping a friend run a business that works on bmw, audi, mercedes ect.

Yes I use it and I am a consultant.

[Malibu1]

Electrical Engineer. Use my degree every day.

[Aggression]

B.A. in Military Management and Program Acquisition, and I'm a Military Officer- I do as well.

[SilverII]

Yes

[ejheverest]

Marine Engineer, yes I use my degree/uscg license from college. Work in Oil Field Services(oil and gas)

[M_Six]

BS in Chemistry/Geology. MS in Technology Management. I'm a sys admin, so you could say I use my masters, but it really didn't teach me anything. I worked for a few years in environmental engineering, so for those few years I used the BS. But then IT opportunities came along and I've been doing it ever since.

Short answer: No.

[geneatals]

Yes

im going to SUNY Maritime right now to be an engineer, is the USCG engineer license worth as much as they say?

[CJ421]

Yes. It got me in the door at my current job and I'm surprised how much of the degree-specific knowledge I use during the job.

However I would make no qualms over taking a job that was unrelated to my degree.

With the frame, mine works very well as a beer coaster!


I KEEEED...

[slo_guy]

Biology and Psychology major from UCSD.

DB Admin as a profession...soooooooooo no

[Comet]

hell no
Comp Sci degree - I work in transport

[Alpine Whiteboy]

I do commercial building maintenance. I have a degree in mopping...

[lcrain]

Finance degree. I work for a natural gas pipeline company doing business development and some trading so in theory I should use it some. But I really don't use it very often at all. That said, I don't feel like it was a worthless degree. Most of the finance I am concerned with is accomplished with a financial models that are very simple to use, hell a monkey could probably use them.

I hope to get an MBA in ~5 or so years so hopefully I will use that much more.

[Masterplan]

Turned down university, got an IT apprenticeship and they provided my DB admin certifications. So no.

[mshanno1]

BBA in Finance, and I do not use my degree at all. It seems like the only options available to me upon graduation were personal financial planning and insurance sales. Neither of which I wanted to do. An Accounting degree would have been much more beneficial.

[MetsFan]

Yep, I'm a mechanical engineer.

[Chewy734]

yes, I'm a biomedical engineer.

[MadDog]

Yes. Computer Science.

[JP720]

My degree is in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operations... I'm a UAV Operator for the Army... go figure...

[RedBarron]

Lots of engineers on here! I really wish I would have done engineering in school. However I got a degree in Economics and I a currently getting a MBA. But to anwser the question NO.
