My mind works pretty odd and for some reason I thought about a lady I worked with over 20 years ago. When I worked with her she was going to UTA for a degree in PoliSci. I left that company and didn't think of her again, I didn't really like her that much. Fast forward about six or seven years and I see her again at the mall. We talk for a bit and I find out that she had graduated college with her Bachelors degree in PoliSci and she's working as a bookkeeper at a carpet store.
Recently I wondered how many people have a degree and don't use it for anything other than it looks good on their resume. I never went to college but when I was thinking about it I was going to do a history degree with a polisci minor or possibly a double major in both. Looking back on it I probably would have switched my major to business. Now I wonder if my life would have been that much different if I had a business degree. After graduating what would I have done? Hit up restaurants with my resume seems to be the most likely.
The bookkeeping lady? She seemed very unhappy at the carpet store. For me not going to college was okay, but that's me.
