Did what you study in school helped in your work? Are they related at all? How many percent are both related?

Hi mj, i agree with you on that too.

The "qualify" thing kinda bothers me too.

Answer 1

I majored in general business so yes my major was relevant to the small business consulting that I do.

Maybe you have to re-work your resume, or have someone "give" you a job (or pull you into the company they work for or own) so that you can get started, then try here: http://www.engineeringjobs.net/electrical_engineering_jobs.cfm or http://electrical-engineer-jobs.dice.com/ or http://www.miscojobs.com/jobs/L_2/C_3/job_240579.htm

Answer 2

No. I got a B.A. in psychology from a college with a liberal admissions policy. I forgot about 90% of what I learned, but it doesn't matter cause it never got me a job. I have actually gotten more jobs by leaving the college box blank on job applications, and saying that I was a clam digger since I graduated high school. If I had it to do over again I would have gone to college in Hawaii and paid for everything with student loans, that I wouldn't have to pay back because I declared bankruptcy. The most useful thing about college was the student credit card I got, without an income check. I screwed that bank out of thousands!

Answer 3

No only about 5%. The OP didn't even count for me to get into uni, I had to audition to get in the class I wanted. But I didn't go to uni in the end. And my most of my schooling didn't help my work. I'm even changing careers (so I'm studying again) and already what we have been told that most of what we are learning we don't use in this job, but to qualify for the position we must know this. Its crazy learn stuff we will never use just to qualify.

Answer 4

Gosh, what a questioner you are right now! You know me pretty well and what I do. My degree is in psychology, so yes, it helps in my work but I am not a practicing psychologist so what I went to school for was right, though I changed it up to suit what I wanted to *do*. Does that make sense?

Answer 5

i have my bachelor's degree in physical therapy but i've been working in admin 4d last 7 yrs...

i used 2 regret not putting my degree in practice but then i realized that everythin happens 4 a reason

Answer 6

In my Field not more than 2 % which is Marketing. i think this percentage would be much higher with engineers & scientists

then again, other people in marketing might apply theory & what they learned more than i do...

Answer 7

nothing helped ...only the qualities and relationship has helped!
