No, this isn't a poll.

Just curious what type of degree everyone has around here and what occupation they currently have. I have read that a lot of people eventually go into fields which have no relation to what major they have achieved.

Here's mine:

B.S. Computer Engineering, UC Irvine December 2004
B.S. Electrical Engineering, UC Irvine December 2004

I'm working on my M.S. in Electrical Engineering at UCI right now and I work in an engineering field.

[sminch]

i'll be interested in this as i've always heard the same thing...

bsc in zoology & ecology, massey university (http://www.massey.ac.nz/), 2000
msc in ecology, massey university, 2002

now working in market access and research management (which is pretty much entirely unrelated).

I haven't had the money to go back to school yet, hopefully something real fancy like one day.

[Randman]

BA, Journalism (News-editorial), NMSU '89.

[driven]

B.S. - Computer Information Systems, Minor in Asian Studies
Master Information Technology

I'll be working on my doctorate as soon as I free some funds.

(Yes, I'm working in the field that my degree is in.)

[Ghoser777]

B.S - Mathematics
Current working on - Masters in Computer Science

[SSharon]

BA in English (in 6 months anyway). Minor in Jewish studies and environmental science.

Applying to law school.

[Warung]

B.A. Filmstudies, University of Colorado, 1995

Now working in DTP and Marketing, - not completely unrelated, but I'd much rather do non-linear video editing and get a Masters in Media Design.

[Cody Dawg]

B.A. English U of WA
B.A. Philosophy U of WA
M.A. English University of Iowa

I always thought that I'd be a teacher or prof and in fact discovered that though I love learning, I did not particularly care for teaching and I am not working in the career field that I envisioned.

But, I'm happy with what I do.



I might work on a Ph.D. in a few years when I have the inclination. Then again, maybe not.

I am so going to do what I qualified for, even if it kills me!

B. Sc. Marine biology/oceanography.

I graduate at the end of the year, or halfway through next, if all goes according to plan. After that I'll work for a while, then go into research, get my Ph. D's, etc. I've finished all the important bits, just need to fill in some electives to graduate.

The topic was Sex-Role Self-Perception and Sexual Satisfaction in Heterosexual Dyads with Young Adults Sample. (unpublished).



I hypothesized that from a measure of Sex-Role (with the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, a classic), men would tend to perceive themselves as more masculine and female as more feminine during sexual intercourse, whatever their self-perception before would be. That little research showed that actually, both male and female participant (age 18 to 25) perceived themselves as more feminine. Not gay, feminine; as in "I identify myself to people living such and such characteristics I usually attribute to female", or if you prefer, mnore caring, emotional, etc...

That was fun.

[budster101]

Cool.

[von Wrangell]

B.Sc -> Molecular Biology
M.Sc -> Immunology

Not planning on adding to that anytime soon.

[dreilly1]

B.S.E.E. SUNY Buffalo
M.S.E.E. Carnegie Mellon

My resume says I design digital IC chips. But I'm seriously thinking of doing something different. While this job is pretty interesting, the whole Corporate Drone thing is starting to get to me. The thing is, of course, with a young kid at home, I can't just decide to go back to school and reinvent myself.

Then again, it seems like every few years I get disenchanted with my job, and look around for something totally different. It's like I'm playing "what do I want to do when I grow up", which is odd for someone seven years out of college. Then I get assigned to a new project, and all is right with the world again....

[Eriamjh]

BSEE, GMI Engineering and Mgt. Institute. I would as a test engineer at an automotive OEM. Makes it easier to know how to fix classic cars. Computers (and macs) are just a hobby.

I have a BS Electircal Engineering. However, my past work experience has been in web development, ASP, SQL, and Java. I got burnt out doing than and I am currently working as an IT systems administrator. I have been thinking about going back to school to study industrial design.

[Doofy]

None.
Got three weeks into a degree course (music technology) and they asked me to join the faculty (which I did). Couldn't remain on the course due to conflict of interest.

I'm working on an MS now...in Occupational Therapy, which means that I am taking Freshman classes I didn't have to take before, as well as some other, necessary classes (anatomy and physiology in the next two semesters, and that's before I get into the OT program). That keeps me kind of busy.

[TheIceMan]

BA - Philosophy (God, that was a waste of time and money!)
MA - Psychology (much better)

Currently, I work with students with emotional/behavioral/classroom management problems.
Although truthfully, it's the adults around the students who need the most help.

I'll start my PhD in mathematical physics (at the department of math) in January 2006.

Yeah, I'm still doing the "art" thing, museum shows, international shows and all that jazz.
And I teach traditional / digital photo and digital media (Ps.Ill.InD and GoL) at several Universities.

I must admit, the being 27 and teaching college gig is damn sweet.

[Sealobo]

We had a few threads like this one before.

B.A. Economics, University of Toronto.

Gonna study some more in the short coming future...

Yeah, I would imagine.

I just never wanted to teach, so it was a bit of a suprise to everyone including myself, thats all. But hell, 3 day work week (2 if yor're sly) and several months off? Sign me up. I'll probably do it for a few more years.

The nice part is showing work all over hell, because you get to go schmooze and be schmoozed. Plus the art world is full of dirty .....um.... secrets.

[euphras]

Diploma (Biology) in 1999, Ph. D. (Dr. rer nat.) in 2004.
I currently work as a postdoc at the Justus-Liebig-University in Gießen, Germany (effects of external stress factors on the development/functionality of plasmodesmata in plant tissue).

That's how it was with me too. Never figured on it but hey: money for nothing.

If you think teaching is nothing, you must be doing something wrong.
