This close to a Ph.D. in geology...(Come on Iron, stop screwing me over!)

Geology? To you I say, "Fe."

 

I have a degree in Economics that I've never used for anything. I have no idea if it's a BA or BS. Well, it's definitely BS, but - oh, you get it.

 

I've also toyed with the idea of going back to school, and I wonder what would be a good field to get into. Any thoughts? Disregard what my personal strengths might be as I've yet to find a paycheck for my persistent sarcasm. What's the hot field (accounting, pc related stuff, etc)?

I just realized we probably have every college in a university covered around here. It is an amazing mix of smart people, something you would not get on say a NASCAR site.

 

So how about a roll call. What formal or informal field of study are/were you in?

 

I will have, Lord willing, by May 6th of this year B.A.s in English Lit and Psychology.

I graduated with my bachelor's in business with a double focus in accounting and finance. I've worked for Deloitte for 3 years and will now be moving into private for a large, formerly publicy traded health care company while I attend MBA school part time in the fall. Don't mean to pat myself on the back, but not too shabby for being 2/1/2 years removed from college :)

When I buy my castle a top a mountain, I will be hiring you to perform my geological analysis to ensure my house doesn't fall off the mountain and onto my lowly peasants, LOL.

BS in Mathematics

 

Minors in Physics, Natural Science, and Classical Studies

 

if only any of this could get me a new job (do not want to go the teaching route yet)

 

Am back at a community college taking accounting classes, maybe having a specialized associates or something will make me more marketable to an employer

What did you do for Deloitte? What are you doing in your new position?

BSME

 

BS in Mech. Engineering

 

Looking to go back soon for an MSME.

Why torture yourself? When I go back it'll be for an MBA. I've been told it's best to expand your fields for the business worlds and if you can get a BS in engineering, you can handle just about anything else.
