    I quit the career my major gave me after 7 years and now I’m doing something totally different… I won’t say I regret it because my old industry is how I got the new industry connections to make them change but yeah… I’m using none of what I learned.

    Be careful about turning your hobbies into careers, kids! You just might start associating it with work stress and stop doing it entirely

        Opposite for me. My degree is editing/motion graphics but my first job killed that passion pretty hard. Now I’ve got “engineer” in my title but I wish I went to school for mechanical engineering
