How many of y'all are doing what you went to school for?

[GammaGirl1908]

I studied psychology as an undergrad. I work in communications for a government agency (plus I teach group exercise on the side).

Although I use my degree every! bleeping! day! dealing with my crazy coworkers, most of my colleagues are former English or education majors.

I changed courses because I started grad school in psychology, but kept not quite getting a B in graduate-level statistics, which I needed to do to go further in that program. So, I took time off to regroup, then started working and realized that I didn't ever have to take statistics again if I didn't go back to psychology, which, **angels singing!**. Before my current job, I've been a database writer, a journal editor, a consultant, and a financial oversight manager (that last one was a complete outlier; I accepted it mostly to get into the government and left as soon as I could).
