What was your major in college and what do you do now?

[2boys2danes]

I was an MIS/CompSci major in college... worked in that field for 5 years in the late 80s/early 90s and knew it wasnt for me.  I've worked in Training and Org. Development for the last 20+ years and its exactly what I love.

I SO could not see myself living in ITS land the rest of my life...

how about you?  I'm always fascinated to see if what people thought they wanted to do at 18 years old is what they end up doing the rest of their life/career.

I would have a degree in dance but I herniated a disk in my back the end of my sophomore year. I wanted to finish on time, and had lots of English lit classes. So, I finished with a creative writing degree.

Now I sell real estate. I wanted to do it in high school but my mom told me that wasn't a real job. Then my parents started to buy rental properties, suddenly it became acceptable.

eta: I liked my own post on accident, how stupid is that?

Grad: electrical engineering
I use both degrees weekly, if not daily .
