Did you took it for your personal interest in the subject and now turns out a satisfying career for yourself?
Did you took it solely for your personal interest in the subject ie: psychology, history ...., and does it impact your career ever since?

And if you can go back in time, would you make a different decision?

Business Law. . .

Currently in retail management with SunCom - AT&T. I have a market with three stores.

Business. I took it because everything else appealed to me even less.

I'm now in IT.

Doubled. Psych & English. Love 'em both. Have proven beneficial to me throughout the years in various management positions. The machine that is "Business" taught me business.

Textile and Materials Engineering; the full bachelor and master thingies. And now I am in IT, go figure , at least the college bars were fun.

All kidding aside, college education specially a masters degree are experiences that I would never trade for anything. Masters was a rude awakening to real studying and learning to be accountable.

Bachelor of Science, Industrial & Systems Engineering, 1997

I'm now employed as an industrial engineer with a large company

Thinking about going back for my MBA.........

If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go for business............

BS in Computer Info. Systems. I took it because of my interests in computing, and I guess it applies in my current job as a computer dork, although I have taught myself 99% of the stuff I do everyday.

I will do graduate course work in the next year or two.

Like my job is going to sound very impressive next to all of yours...................

I am a Registered Nurse working full time in Labor & Delivery and a full time student pursuing my MSN for Family Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to open a practice "someday" with another colleague or two.

I often wonder what it would be like to "shift gears" and do something else, especially after the night I worked last night. I choose to work the 7p-7a shift so I can go to school. One thing I do know - humans are not supposed to be nocturnal

Husband is active duty Coast Guard (22 years) can't fly anymore due to cervical disk surgeries so now works as an aviation QA inspector and is helping design the new engine for the H65 helicopters.

BTW, Rick really wants to attend next weekend (I'm working), he knows about the 50 car limit but would like to meet up with everyone Sat night for dinner? Is this ok or are you guys pretty much at your limit already?
