I am. BA in Political Science, working in the Irish parliament.
I have a degree in Software Engineering (with a grade that reflects my lack of willpower not my programming skills at the time) I am a tote ‘operator’
I have my B.A. and M.A. in English Lit. and a second Masters in Library Science. I manage the Web site for an itty-bitty federal agency in the Dept. of Health and Human Services.
My background in English Lit has nothing to do with my profession life these days, but it does still play a large part in my private life; it informs my tastes in books in film (I still read authors like Henry James and Edith Wharton for fun). The MLS has a little more to do with my current job, in that the agency’s Web site staff and library staff are both considered “information management,” and there is a lot of crossover in the type of work and duties of the two sets of people. I don’t usually do traditional librarian work anymore, but am somewhat attached to the library–my office is actually in the back of the library–and when they are short-staffed, I will come out and lend a hand.
I have a degree in Architectural Engineering and I do civil engineering structural design. so I’m pretty much working in my field and use stuff I learned in school every single day. But, I’m thinking of leaving engineering and going back to get a major in something else…
I got a BA in Comparative Literature and a Master’s in Library Science. I am now a SAHM, and I read to my kids a lot and function as Information Lady to many friends. 
I also do some work for the local library: the Friends pay me to run a program inviting schools to visit and tour the library, and I’m involved in a lot of the smaller projects such as fund-raisers, remodeling, getting the city to give us money, and so on. When the kids are older, I will most likely do library work.
DangerDad majored in CS and is now a software engineer. He was going to be a physics major, but decided CS was more realistic (and he’s been programming forever, it wasn’t a big switch) and just took a lot of physics too. He now works on a project with a lot of serious math and physics involved, so it’s worked out very well for him.
B.Sc. Physiology, now taking more courses to become a medical lab technologist. I’m working part-time in a clinical research company for now, so I’ve stayed in my field.
I have a BA in English-Teaching. The company I work for is contracted by the State Departments of Education (several states) to do open-ended standardized testing; we do no muliple choice questions, if you were wondering. I personally work in the Writing content area, giving holistic or analytical scores to pieces of student writing. I suspect I’m making more use of my degree than a lot of my classmates, but then, they’re probably better paid…the joys of working for non-profits :dubious:
I got a B.A., majoring in chemistry and minoring in Medieval Studies. I couldn’t find a job as an alchemist, so I had to settle for being a chemist in a pharmacutical company. Then GE bought us out, so I’m wondering what else I could do and stay with the company…
I’m one class away from my Masters, which the company paid for, so I’m bound to be in the chemistry field for quite a while.
Got an MD, still practicing medicine, so…yeah, I guess.
Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Advertising Art and a minor in English. For a while, I was in tech support, then I went into teaching - Art and English. So, yeah, and hopefully yeah in the future, as I’m currently looking for a teaching position.
Mathematics. Do I find it useful? Hollow laughing sound Seriously, it’s interesting, and crops up IRL more often than you might think, but I don’t think I’ll ever be paid for it. But some people are - the statistics part is exceptionally useful, and differential equations, etc, crop up all over the place, but I never got on with either of those.
Masters degree in Library and Information Science. Work part time as an art librarian, and struggling mightily to get a full time job in a time of nasty hiring freezes in state agencies.
But I don’t really use my BA in history, which I originally meant to go to grad school in.
Got my Bachelor’s in Philosophy. I’m a mountain top guru, so yeah.
Not really. I went to law school after that, and I am working as a lawyer.
BFA in Theatre that’s how it’s spelled on the diploma
For the last 28 years I’ve been a government paper-shuffler.
The closest I come to using anything related to my degree at work is acting like I’m paying attention when they have half-hour meetings to tell us how much work we have piled up (if we have so much work to do why are you wasting our time with meetings?).
BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering. Have always worked in the field.
Haj
Using my degree, or using my education?
As to using my degree, I am a state licensed professional geophysicist and I am the top such in the NYSE traded company by whom I am employed. As such, a couple of observations are prominent.
First off is that, while my professional status is not one commonly occupied by one with my Bachelor of Arts degree (Major in psychology), I have no doubt that I would not be here without that degree.
And then I’m reminded of the comment made by a pencil-pusher above - I spend less time actually doing geophysical interpretation or extrapolations than I do cracking the budget whip, allocating tasks, evaluating others’ work and representing both my company to outside parties as well as my own people before management.
As to using my education - well, I’m not a shrink. But the psych major hardly describes the eclectic curriculum I pursued. Recently (2003) I had to round up my college transcripts (6 institutions) for the state licensing board and I saw that I had successfully pursued almost 200 hours of undergraduate credit. Math, Geology, Physics, Biology, Physiology, Chemistry that could all be avoided while attempting a psych degree represent most of my university endeavors. But there’s some extra History, Anthro, Sociology, Music, English and, what the heck, Home Ec and Business Communications in the mix as well. I got an “A” in the History of Rock and Roll.
My off-the-cuff impression is that almost half of my college educated contemporaries are involved in occupations not contemplated by their course of study.
I have a BA in Latin American Studies and a BS in Radio-Television-Film, and am not using either. But becoming trained for a specific profession was never my intention, anyway. I just wanted to study stuff I thought was cool/interesting. And it was!
I have a BS in Molecular Biology and have worked in molecular and cellular biology labs doing medical research since I graduated 17 years ago.
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, one master’s in applied mathematics, another in telecommunications.
In my job (designing optical network components), I make use of all three degrees at least a little bit.
Degree in microbiology, working in a clinical genetics lab. Close enough.
