Watto's Junk Yard / Re: College Grads...Do you use your degree?

Great topic, this is something I've been wondering about lately too. Personally, I don't really use my degree, but I do use some of the things I learned in college. I changed my major a few times (started with Computer Information Systems, then went to Business Administration, ended up with Exercise Physiology...I know, big change!). Although I really enjoyed my classes in Exercise Physiology, unfortunately I found out there isn't much out there for jobs, unless you are able to go on to further schooling, and even then it is only in the medical field. I could go back and save a little bit of time if I pursued something like Radiologic Techology, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing, etc....but I could have just went to a two year school in the first place for that. Anyways....I don't really use my Ex. Phys. knowledge in my job (although sometimes in my daily life, or when people ask me questions), but I do use some of my Business and computing classes now. I probably should have just continued to get my business degree, seems you can go a lot of different directions with that.....live and learn I guess.
