[QUOTE="Priest, post: 2315424, member: 571335"] How long have you been in the field? A couple of years out of school this is usually true but long term I would guess that the majority of people end up doing something different although the degree helps them get there. Take Carly Fiornia for example. Former CEO of HP. Her degree was in midevil history...not sure how that qualifies her to be CEO of HP (although she wasn't a very good one at that) but she snowed someone into thinking she was the right person for the job. My degree is in electronics and I'm a technical instructor (teach people how to install and maintain ATMs, security and surveilance systems). While my electronics degree got me the initial job as a tech it doesn't really do much for me now...I'd be better off haveing a teaching credential for the job I do now. No way in hell I could be a network admin. I have a few friends who when that route and they tell me the horror stories...said it was great for the first few years then they got tired of being someone whipping boy. [/QUOTE]
