3) You went to a top school (Ivy+)
4) You majored in something very difficult that can transfer over. Engineers are highly sought after in quite a few cases. On the flip side, an engineer can work in finance and very rarely does an art history major get the same opportunity.
5) You want a very low job with little to no skills relevant to your major. Obviously to be a trainer at Ballys you don't need to be a biochemistry major.
6) You went on to get a professional degree. There are quite a few English majors that go on to get law degrees.
But hey what do I know?

I completely agree (did I ever give the impression that I didn't?) I would fall in the number 2 position. And now, because of my work ethic and the fact that several "important" people have noticed how good I am (*toot*), I shouldn't have any problem finding my next job, despite the fact that I'm in a marketing field without a marketing degree.
