Are you actually using your college degree

Hi friend, college degree never become a waste of time. College is the best place to gain practical and educational knowledge and we can learn a lot of things in our college days. I am using my college degree in my work and happy with it.

My profession is far from what I took up in college. I feel that some subjects are not very useful actually but they're part of the curriculum so I don't see it as a waste of time.

I am, at least that is what i feel. i have been using what i have learned in college in my current job and that is a blessing, because it is very rare that people do that, right? :D i have studied systems analysis and design.. and that is what our work in here too, how we deal with projects, creating process flows, etc. so it is not wasted, what i have learned in college, mostly.

I know what you mean a lot of people dont used their college degree and some cant get a job up to their degree standard . I am working in the field of my degree but I didnt used my degree to get it , I was happy for that because at that time it didnt quite complete but it help that I had it .

I am. I have a Master's degree in elementary education. I use the knowledge the I gained from earning my degree in my business and the mere fact that I have a Master's degree allows me to be in somewhat high demand at the college where I teach. I'm considering continuing to a possible Doctorate's degree.

I don't use my college degree usually. But i do think they are useful because it is not only a college degree, it is the proof that you have that priod of experience. In your life, college life is so vital that it makes a difference on your future life in many aspects. So, just cherish these beatutiful memories.

I hear you. A lot of my recent graduate friends (with bachelor degrees) do not know what to do with themselves after being done with school. They are looking for jobs, since graduating in the summer and even over a year ago. So, it's kind of discouraging. I think people just jump into going to college without thinking of what kind of degrees they want, and ones that will correllate not just with their interests but also with an actual career outside of school. But what degrees actually merit jobs? It seems as though a degree of any sort is not just a ticket to a career. Work experience still seems very very necessary, especially in a sad economy like ours. Oh well.

No my BS degree was not a waste of my time because I majored in Education and I got a degree in teaching. I'm glad I did. I think I was lucky because now they are not hiring teachers in Los Angeles because the schools are not getting enough money. I consider myself lucky. I started out substituting at the time because they needed substitutes very badly. Then I finaslly got s full time job.

Hi friend, i never think college degree is a waste of time, we are going to college to increase our knowledge as well as get social awareness. Surely college days are a great turning point in our life and we learn a lot of things with it. I am doing a job which is different from my degree, however always i give importance to my education
