what you do now is not relate to what you study

When you were in college, you intended to study something that is in your interest. But right after you finish your college education, you end up something totally different from what you pictured before. What a ironic! Do you have this experience? I did, honestly. I studied Computer information system, end up something totally different right now. I felt like that I wasted my college education totally.

I am currently studying, so I don't know ow it feels. I hope I'll work in my field of study. But still, God takes control of everything right? I don't think that learning something is a waste of time. I mean, computer information is appliable science right?

I am a teacher now (teaching languages) and I took computer science in my university, that is totally conflicted with my studies. I don't think I wasted what I learn as I use it for freelancing and through the Internet, I can find things that I can benefit from what I learn.
