What people studies in school vs. The profession they found themselves

Sometimes one wonders if the traditional colleges and universities are still relevant in today's world. Its quite confusing to see people who studied sciences and humanities in school end up working in a bank. Are you in a profession for which you were trained in school?

That's the thing with most college degrees. Most people don't do what they went to school for. At the same time, it's always funny to me that someone goes to college to learn to be something but aren't even remotely qualified to be that thing when they graduate, and build most of their experience on the job.

Actually these degree courses have no connection with skills. What matters is the experience in a skill that can enable you earn your bread

So true!! My daughter's first husband got a degree in Engineering and Architecture; was smart as a whip. Most of his adult life he work in restaurant management. His degree did land him the job he has now, but only because it required a degree of some kind. That seems like a dumb requirement to me, but it is what it is.

I think diplomas are just tickets so you can find a good job, it doesn't matter if you can practice your degree.
