I have a BSBA-finance and an MBA-finance.
I am working as an cost accountant and inventory management for a manufacturing company. So technically I am not using my degrees as accounting and finance are two different worlds.

I have a BSC -- Bachelor of Science in Communications (Radio-TV Production emphasis), and minors in Political Science and English.

Have worked as a DJ, TV Announcer, TV Director (15 years) doing live news and sports events, nearly 20 years in TV production management -- 14 for NBC, and now I work for a company that builds video facilities.

Guess I used my degree.

I have a B.S. in Occupational Therapy and almost completed a Master's in Clinical Psychology (but my daughter came along instead). I worked as an OT for 13 years on mental health units (primarily adolescent) but then I got some certifications and I'm working in IT now as a LAN Systems Analyst. I haven't decided what to do with my next career!

I have an BA degree in Economics w/Business Emphasis, I currently work for a financial institution dealing with retirement plans. I'm intending to go back for my MBA since my company will pay for part of it, but that also means I'm committed to the company for 2 years.

Bachelor's and Master's degrees in computer science and engineering.

I'm currently a software engineer and web designer, but I'm learning everything I can about network and database administration as well. The software jobs are going to India, but it's harder to outsource your network admin or DBA. ;)

I used to be a Researcher for an engineering consulting firm but we moved to Cleveland. I am currently not doing anything with my degree. I work for Hertz.

I have a B.S. in Journalism and History. I don't really use either, I'm an underwriter.

I have a BS Journalism (sequense in Public Relations). I am currently applying for jobs, however I have found my degree most useful in my current job - sales.

My degree-El Ed

What am I doing with it? Not a darn thing.

Why?...too little pay here in La. and too much paper work and hassle from the system.

I've got a BA in Psychology with a Social Sciences concentration. When the family is a bit older I'd love to go back and get an advanced degree, in either Counseling, Social (Consumer Psych emphasis) or Developmental Psychology. I'm definitely using my degree though--between being a full-time mom, part-time volunteer, working part-time in an office and owning my own business. No matter what you do, if you deal with people you're using a Psych degree :)

Have to say that this is one of the main reasons I like GC.
Where else, outside of a campus, would I have the opportunity to exchange ideas and communicate with this many college educated people. Not implying it makes anyone better than another, (experience is still the great teacher) just that there's a wealth of information available.
My community is not that big on college, though it is getting much, much better.

Xylochick216 03-28-2004 12:24 PM

In May I'll graduate with my BA in Broadcast Communications with a minor in Classical Studies (all those years of Latin and Archaeology are going to do me NO good :rolleyes: ). I'm hoping to work at Elon in the Admissions department or something like that... we'll see if I ever put my degree to good use!
