What did you study to become what you work as now?

Question

pretty open ended question :)

Answer 1

For the job I have right now I only had to study music and ways to recreate it. I also had to do a bit of mathematics and art for the drwings I draw for some animations such as "Avatar" and "The Replacements". It comes out rather well if you know some common things as well. I definetly needed to know how to write very well in handwritten format.

Although this isnt really my job since I am still in college and I might be focusing on other jobs later on. I'm 21, so I got alot more studying to do :).
I dont see why we study everything such as useless things that i never used after the time i learned it, but I am pretty sure I will be usin most of my English and Mathematics learnings. Since 6th grade until the Sophomore year I have achieved honors classes in every possible class that has honors classes so that has coem to an advantage to me. I do certainly hope I will be using all that knowledge because I surely dont want to come to an end where I dont use it and figure out it was very pointless :)

Good Night

Answer 2

Originally, office management - didn't get anything (but bored) out of it. Next, disability studies - loved it and found it very rewarding. I spent a number of years in that field, travelling around the country, but needed a change of pace eventually. Childrens' services - again, loved that type of work, and became very close to quite a number of families I was involved with (still am now, quite a few years later). Then I decided that I'd had enough of making decisions that would impact on others' lives, and constantly questioning myself over whether the decisions I'd made were the right ones, so decided that what I needed was a job where I could go to work, do my job as well as possible, then go home afterwards and forget all about it till next morning. Result - I am now having a great time with some wonderful people I would otherwise never have got to know and earning a decent wage working in a factory. Not a thing I would have ever dreamt I would end up doing years ago, but I eventually came to the conclusion that we each only have one life and work shouldn't be the main component of it. Have to say I've never been happier or more relaxed!

Answer 3

Nothing actually. I just cared about people, and when the opportunity arose, I gave it my best shot.

I'm a 9-1-1 supervisor now. I always treat calls as if it were my own family or friends that need help.

I wouldn't want anyone to wait one second longer than necessary for help to arrive on the scene.

Answer 4

I studied Computer Science, so that when I moved back to where I am now, I didn't have a job in my field. Thus, I answer phones for a pet supply company.
