I have three degrees and at present not working. I am a teacher and have to much experience. They have to pay me what they can hire 2 or 3 other teachers for. So I guess experience isn't everything.

I went back to school & got a nail tech license. And business is booming. Everyone, even in a recession, still want their hands & feet to look good.

My degree was in Mass Communication and no it has never helped me one bit.  I valued my overall college education but I only chose that degree because it was the most popular in my school and I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up.  If I had it to do all over again I would have majored in something that would have allowed me to get a decent job.

I graduated in May with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, I have been trying to find a job, but have had no luck.  I have made the decision to go to Graduate School, so that I can hold off on having to pay back my student loans for another year and a half, and also to see if the economy improves by then and there will be a job for me.  I am very disappointed, I am ready to be in my own classroom.

I'm glad this topic came up. I'm currently in school finishing my BA in Healthcare Management but I wanted to learn medical billing and coding to do something from home on side. I don't know anyone in the business but have a feeling it's not just sitting home plugging away at the computer making money.

i have an associate's in interior design,
and i think it's helped me get the job i have
now, but i work in the graphic design and
print field, not interiors. and any job could help
me in this economy, so yes to the question!

I'm currently in school getting my BS in Computer Information Systems. If I had the brains to handle all the higher math and science, I probably would have done some sort of engineering (probably petroleum) just because if you're a woman with an engineering degree, you're pretty much guranteed to have job since there are so few women in the engineering field.

I have a degree in fashion merchandising (sold trucks for 25 years) and a degree in business management.  Thought I would run my own design studio someday but met a cowboy and moved down on the farm.

He, however, has four degrees, prevet med, construction, computer science and a grad degreen.  Worked as a construction worker for 25 years, a rodeo cowboy and only one year in the computer field.  Go figure.
