[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 247519, member: 1485"] Depends...do you really want a job in the field you have a degree? These days, unless you're an engineer or something, your degree tells an employer one thing: You're more dedicated than the average dude, educated and can grind it out for an extended period. The position I'm in now had ZERO to do with my degree. In fact, I almost wish I could go back in time and get some sort of business management degree and gone down this path from Day 1. I have a communications degree. The most basic, vague degree known to the liberal arts. I was convinced it was my purpose, but I bounced through a few jobs and never felt satisfied, especially when those jobs were with white-collar corporate schmucks. Don't let a degree force you into something you don't want to do. It can certainly be a stepping stone, and you should use it to your advantage. But tunnel vision leads to mediocrity. You seem like a fella who can wear a lot of hats and who has a solid background. My guess is if you sell yourself right, you can get a position doing pert near whatever you want! [/QUOTE]
