How many of you work in your Major area?

[locked&loaded]

I heard that as far as majors go only aobut 60% of people work in there degree area as far as bachelors degree goes. so im just curious.

[rkell87]

interesting, i would love to see a lot more responses

 

[dback]

I currently work in IT.

My BS, and PhD degrees: Physics

My PhD work was involved computational physics and I was in charge of building and maintaining a compute cluster so I was really doing IT at the same time.

 

[Kevinicus]

Not at all, but I didn't get my degree.

My major was Compuer Science, but what I do now doesn't have much to do with computers.

 

[Duane]

I have a BBA/MBA in Finance and do financial analysis.

 

[Hoofbite]

I have a Ph.D. in *** Whooping.

That's really all you need to know in order to reason out what my answer would be.

 

[The Fonz]

I think the percentage maybe less than 60%
as for myself:

Major: Master's degree in film production
work: still working as a freelancer

Dropped out, planned on getting a BA in Psychology but working in IT now.

Time will tell. Finishing my B.S. in Biology, minor in Chemistry.

Originally I was working on a composite program at SWT that was a straight shot through from the undergrad BS to the PhD. The caveat was that when you encountered what Texas State calls a "Stack" class, i.e. undergrad and graduate class combined, you had to follow the graduate curriculum level if there was a differentiation between the two.

You also were required to start on your thesis as an undergrad and begin the actual physical research, publishing your results as an undergrad, along with a presentation of your research at an end of the school year biological sciences symposium. I want to say there were 5 of us who signed up for it as undergrads. So, technically speaking, I have graduate hours without a BS to show for it. Somewhere on the campus of Texas State resides a copy of:

"The Temporal and Spatial Distribution of the Blacktip Shark, C. limbatus, in the Mission, Copano, Aransas Bay Tertiary Complex"

If you aren't planning on going beyond a BA in psychology, there isn't much use in going with a BA..........I know.
