Do you work in your degree related field??

Nope. Degree is in Biology and Chemistry. I run a book publishing company that does not release scientific material.

I did work in a lab for a year but I hated it.

I'm not really using my undergrad degree as of yet. At least not where I work. However, I am working in the field I want to make a career out of. Once I get my graduate degree, then I'll be using both degrees in my field of study.

I have a triple major (Journalism, History and English) and a minor (Photography). I also have a double MA (British History and Communications) AND am certified to teach 7-12 grade.

What do I do? I'm the Senior News Editor (which is funny, because I am the only news editor) at a large, member-driven technical organization. I write news stories for our Web site, contribute (on average) 5-6 pages of text/pictures a month in our 160-page membership journal (with by-line!), take pictures of products we sell on the Web site, write and distribute a weekly e-mail newsletter that goes out to about 70,000 people, as well as write a script (edited from the newsletter) and voice a weekly news show that members can either download from our Web site, phone in to receive, or listen to it on certain kinds of radios - and more!

In other words, yes I use my degrees and I have a blast doing it. I can't believe I get paid to play with words all day long!!!

My degree is in Occupational Therapy. I did work as an Occupational Therapist for 13 years and then took courses to get a Microsoft Certification. Now I'm a LAN System's Analyst.

I'm getting itchy though.. wanting to try something new again. I'm not sure what though. I've thought about owning my own business. Point is, I can see myself changing career paths 4 times in my lifetime. I did one for 13, have been doing this for 8, and I probably can't retire for 22 more years so that leaves quite a bit of time. I also think I'll have a 'retirement' career doing something that I really enjoy without the money really being the issue.. something like making items to sell in craft shows... something more hobby related.

I have a BA in Political Science and History. After graduation I worked as a bartender and now find myself in the non-profit sector.

I absolutely love my job. Despite the long hours sometimes, there so much room for professional growth.

Chaminade University offers a Not-for-Profit MBA, and once things settle down over here...I hope to finally get started on that.
