degree / career

[teen persuasion]

BS in Computer Science, working as Children's Librarian.

Yes, my job and degree are related.  Though my job is more or less just a very specific part of my overall degree.  I have a degree in physics, but my job specifically revolves around nuclear physics and radiation.

My bachelor's degree is in Construction Management and Interior Design (technically it's more interior design than CM but we were lumped under the College of Science with CM and took a bunch of joint classes) I didn't declare an official minor but before I switched to ID/DM my major was corporate finance so I had enough credits and could have declared it as a minor but I was just looking to be done.  

I am the Vice President of a highway heavy road construction company.  I oversee the day to day operations and do all of the accounting/bookkeeping/HR/etc.  I also help with the bidding, attend preconstruction meetings and half a dozen other things. 

The CM portion of my degree is helpful so I that's why I lump it in with the ID portion.

I have a BS in Fisheries and Wildlife Management. I manage the vegetation program at a electric utility. Not exactly related, but I have an extensive back ground in natural resource/regulatory issues, which helps with my day to day duties.

I have a law degree and I work in higher education. My degree was required for my first job in this field, though I never used it in my actual day-to-day job duties. I love my career-even though I don't use my degree, I am glad I have it!

I graduated from college in 1975 with math and accounting degrees. From 1975-1979 was a tax accountant at two CPA firms. Became a corporate tax accountant in 1979 and got my master's degree in business taxation. But I really disliked taxes.

Learned all I could about PCs when my company started using them and switched to doing computer support in IT in 1990. Like math and accounting, computers are (mostly) logical, so it fit with my background and talents. Ended up doing more corporate and departmental network application installations, rollouts, and troubleshooting. Retired in '99.

Now I'm just an educated retiree. Or, as my DH calls me, a bum.

B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders
AuD (clinical doctorate of Audiology)

I am an Audiologist.
