[quote=Anonymous]Let me let you in on a little secret: with very few exceptions where there is defined entry point for a job requiring a certain level of professional certification and defined skills, what you study in college and what you actually do in the end for a living can be totally unrelated. I was a Political Science major in college (late got a grad degree in international affairs). What I do now is international marketing and export business development. Everything I do for my work life today I actually learned on the job. What I got in college was the ability to think critically, write well and be able to hold a viable conversation on just about any topic with anyone in any filed. Grad school, in the end, was more about building the connections that got me my next level job. While I indeed improved my foreign language skilss. it was the connections along with my own pluck and a good deal of luck that has made me the successful person I am today. [/quote]
