Who here went to school for one thing but is doing a totally different thing? (45)
sweetowen: I've been thinking about this & thought I'd ask.
Myself... I went to cosmetology school, took my boards, got licensed, & realized it was more my mother's life-long ambition than my own. Now I work behind 2 computers in an office & love my job! What about you?

I have three BAs (history, Spanish and French) and have worked as a cook for three years and am now learning to become a butcher, but am working so hard to become a farmer. Yeah, I am really doing something different
but I enjoy it because the people I work w/ are awsome. When they are gone I will probably move on.------ This thread is Archived ------

Got three Associates degrees could have had a master. Was going to be a teacher but one of the kidlets tried to commit suicide and that was it for me I was too upset by it. Went to Bible College for two years for obviously religious studies. Was going to be a missionary school teacher in Aftrica lol stayed a waitress for about 17 years. Another Associate in Travel and Business Admin. never did anything with that but worked in clerical for ten years. Now am waiting tables again and planning on going back for a BA maybe in Writing or Sociology haven't got that far yet lol.

I actually had every intention of starting college when my daughter was around 10. Took one psychology course, but my daughter made it next to impossible. Now I should take advantage of it.

My degree was in Anthropology and there isn't much call for anthropologists so I became a teacher. I was only going to do it for a year then try something else. In 3 months it will be my 20th anniversary. You can't beat the vacations (although many of us would like to beat the students....)
