   I'm in recruitment. I sort of fell into it four years ago but I'm not a natural salesperson and am not a big fan of the telephone. I hate that I sit all day, too. But at least I have a job and a salary!

    Full-time student (illustration major at Massachusetts College of Art and Design) and part-time dishwasher/busser at a cafe.

    I may drop the job soon -- the last half of any semester is always insane with final projects, next semester is my final semester at college oh god oh god, and I really want to focus on building up my portfolio, making a website, and maybe starting commission work. 21 hours of class a week + at minimum 25 hours of homework + commuting time + work = not a lot of rest.

    Now what I'd like to know is...How many of you actually used your college degree for your career? ;)

    It doesn't matter what your degree says... there are only 5 jobs in this world.

    1 Production
    2 Research and Development
    3 Accounting
    4 Sales and Marketing
    5 Social worker.

    There is no difference between a cop, fireman, teacher or nurse. They are all social workers.

    Chef! I loves to get my cooking on. I could spend all day in the kitchen (and sometimes do) and that's when I'm happiest. Feeding someone a great dish is the closest thing to being in the sack with them. But that discussion is probably best left for some other site! lol

    @jess: If I could go back now, I would have gone into Law Enforcement from the get-go. With a few notable exceptions, I find I have a lot more kindred spirits there, than in the Private Sector.

    I'm an Environmental Regulatory Specialist for a large Chemical Company. My degree is BS Biology/Chemistry. If I had to do it all over again I would be an Orthodontist.

    My true calling would be a flyfishing guide. Alot of fun but would never pay the bills

    Started out college to be a Dental Hygienist, but momma-dearest screwed that all up for me....but, I digress.

    I was also going to go to school at the top Hollywood makeup schools, but alas, my mother borrowed half of my tuition money and I haven't painted faces professionally since....

    May I mention that I have 'mommy issues'? ;-)

    Anyway, I started here as a 'phone monkey' (ie temp) and have been here ever since (12 years this February).

    I am an Assistant Program Manager for a Database Marketing company. We custom-create databases and marketing software to support the 'Channel'. Personally, I help develop the software/ app to analyze TCO (total cost of ownership) on a fortune-500 client's print devices. I also run their Help Desk and utilize the tool to create analyses for their internal sales representatives and some of their resellers.

    I am dying to move on to my 'passion', but I have been our family's bread-winner the past 12 yrs, so I am 'stuck'.

    I enjoy it, but I am not changing the world here, that's for sure!

    @Jess, considering I dropped out of college to persue my interests, I guess you could say I'm using my degree for my job! Using the time I would've spent on a degree in pursuit of my real passions.

    Had I the chance to do it all over again? I'd drop out of high school and not waste time in that prison and do the same thing I'm doing now. L-I-V-I-N.
