What was your major in college, and do you use it in your job?

Answer 1

Accounting and finance. Sure do use it, as I work for bank. Getting my MBA now.

Answer 2

First major was a bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering/ minor American Government though I originally started with political science pre law. Graduated Northern Arizona University 1971. Used it at many companies but not until 1976 I worked as an earth driller instead. Graduated early in 2-1/2 years summa *** laude

Second Major was post grad. Metrology, an extension of Electronic Engineering
University of Arizona Master's degree 1979. summa *** laude. Used it plenty from the get go.

Third Degree bachelor's in History of the Ancient Levant (Mesopotamia)/ minors psychology & History of the American West. University of Arizona 1991
summa *** laude Never used any of that one. I wanted to get out of the Defense Industry and play Indiana Jones. Am all my explorations prior 1982 to 1985 in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Jordan

Associate Equivalent from US Army Signal School 1966 in Microwave Radio repair specifically An/FRC-23, AN/FRC-35, AN/TRC-29, AN/TRC-109, MRC-98 Tropo, LRC-3 Tropo.
26 L 20 MOS upgraded to 26 Z 40. Used in in the Army and working for Bell Aerospace a year folloying Regular Army Service.

I also have a master's degree equivalent from College of the Air Force in 1983 in Precision Measurement Equipment Technology that parallels my degree in Metrology. *** laude. via correspondence and remote campuses. Probably used that one more than the others combined and it certainly held far more weight in Defense Department Industry employment.

Hey, I have remained single. Education and volunteering was my way of holding some self worth. But end result in the Defense Industry in 1988 I was consistantly "Over qualified." But I managed to get one interviewer to admit I had hit the over 40 plateau and really "overage." and "over salaried" on previous jobs.
Which was also a reason for history diversion.
At 60, not a job, retired. But I volunteer as an unpaid teacher, more correctly instructor as I lack a teaching certificate. at a junior college instructing American Government, American History and History of the Middle East (not the old stuff I like. Everything from WWI to present)
