If you finished university, are you using your degree now?

**homesteadmamma** · 02-19-2004, 01:37 PM

Or has it been put on the back burner for now and your doing other things, such as being a SAHM? Will you use your degree later in life?

I have an AS degree in Business Administration and am using it as I am a PT Admin Assistant. I honestly feel past work experience helps me more than the degree though.

I have a BA and was a certified teacher. I am presently a SAHM, but I don't see myself going back into the classroom again full time. i'm not sure what I will do when both kids are in school.
I cenrtainly don't think my education was wasted!

**canadian gardener** · 02-19-2004, 02:06 PM

I'm not. I let my RN lapse when I made the choice to homeschool our kids thru highschool.

I went back once before when they entered primary grade school, but I haven't had either the health or the inclination to do so again, now that they are out of homeschool and into their university education phase.

I have never felt that I've wasted my talents though. I do use my knowledge to benefit others when and where I can.

I use my AAS degree in my nursing career (couldn't get my RN license without it)

**Guest1** · 02-19-2004, 02:08 PM

I use mine if the kids are sick!

I'm still a Hospice Nurse....

**Michelle** · 02-19-2004, 02:54 PM

Nope, not now, but I think it will help in whatever I decide to do if I return to the work force.

**gkp1031** · 02-19-2004, 07:27 PM

I went to school for Business Management and I work in sales/marketing. Since I took quite a few marketing classes as electives, I feel I'm using it.

**AmyMCGS** · 02-20-2004, 07:57 AM

I have my BS in Art Therapy with a minor in Gerontology.
I'm the Activity Director in a nursing home.
Yes, I use it!

You bet I am!!!! All those child development classes and education classes have really paid off for me. They have helped me in my homeschooling of my own kids and also have put me in a position where I can help other parents who's kids may have learning disabilities figure out how to best teach them.

**paelthom** · 02-20-2004, 12:35 PM

I think mine are getting used. I am an office manager/administrative assistant for an architect's office. I manage all the bookkeeping and do all the computer work as well.

**QuilterMom** · 02-20-2004, 03:53 PM

I have a BS in Accounting. Even though I'm a SAHM I truly feel it's helping me in managing our family's finances and such and I think it will come into play in our homeschooling when ds is older.

**Lori Biever-Launder** · 02-21-2004, 01:49 AM

Yes. I have a degree in Spanish with a minor in Art History. I am the only person at work who speaks Spanish and we have a number of Spanish-speaking patrons.

**AmyBoz** · 03-10-2004, 11:54 AM

Yes, I am, or will be again after maternity leave. I have a BA in History and a Master of Education with Social Studies Specialty. As an 8th grade Social Studies teacher, I use both.
