Answer 1

My major in college was Interior Decorating but now I am an office manager for a retail internet business.  I switched because I wasn't sure about the decorating after I was done and the business I work for is family owned and my uncle needed me to start working right away, and I've stayed every since.  I am happy that I made that decisions; the Interior Decorating just wans't really me.  

Answer 2

I did masters degree in Mathematics and now i am my own Home maker. I regretted to have ended up like this. But, now I teach my children.  

Answer 3

took medical billing and insurance coding, thought it was boring decided to be a leasing consultant for a property management.

Answer 4

I majored accounting in college and realized that I did not like it.  I was too far into it to change majors. After graduation I ended up in the computer field.  Best decision I ever made.

Answer 5

I majored in art/illustration and now I'm working for an elementary school with special ed kids. I loved my major, but its an extremely competitive field to break into and I've tried a tiny little bit, but I don't feel like my education completely prepared me for the professional business world. After I graduated I just needed to find a job to help support my husband because he is still in school. Finding an art job seemed overwhelming and stressful, so for a long time I avoided it and found something at a daycare. Then I got interested in the school district through a friend, finding that I could make more money and do something that actually required a degree. I really love my current job, but it still doesn't feel like a career. If I could go back knowing what I know now, I would probably have wanted to go into elementary education so I could be an actual teacher right now. But it seems silly to go back to school now, because my hubby needs his degree still. Maybe I'll get back to school one of these days, but for now I'm enjoying where I work. I still love art, and maybe I'll pursue it in the future, but its still stressed me out thinking about the work and money I'll have to put into it before any art director will ever be interested in me!
