QotD: Education, Occupation

Dec 18, 2007

What was your major or field of study in college? Did you wind up working in that field or using that degree? If not, what field have you wound up in?

I did a BA majoring in Chinese (Mandarin) and although it's not really a vocation in itself I did successfully use the degree to get a job in University admin which was great - would love to go back to that some day. My second degree was an MTeach majoring in Chinese language and History and I use that to work as a temporary teacher, am loving teaching too but am not sure if this it 'it'. I think I've used both degrees quite well actually despite my mother's and several of my colleagues' protestations that I'm an underachiever.
