A Career After College and Career Change (Tidbits)

[Cookee]

Greetings Ladies:

I've been thinking lately about my plans after I graduate. I thoroughly enjoy my major, but there are other things I want to do besides my specific field. However, I almost feel that my career(s) should in some way pertain to my degree. I'm thinking that for me to do something not in line with my degree makes me feel as if I wasted my parent's money.

My question to other ladies that have graduated and are in the working field is, did you go outside of your field after graduating to pursue your other interests? Or after working in your field for a while, did you change to something else that interested you? Do you feel that it's just the "degree" that counts and not necessarily that you work in that field?

Just wanted to hear the experiences and points of others. I've been thinking about this for awhile because I just don't want to be a college graduate with no job or absolutely no clue!

Thanks,
Cookee
