[Augustine23384]

There are a few people who manage exactly to match up their education and the way they make their living, but for most of us, it doesn’t work out that way. I am an example of what you are talking about. I have a bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees, yet my job could be done by someone with no college education at all. But I can say something that not many people can say: I’m happy with my job, I do it well, and it is easy for me, virtually stress-free. I have excellent computer and math skills (neither of which, by the way, I picked up in college) as well as a talent for organizing massive amounts of data, researching things methodically when called upon to do so, and expressing myself well on paper — all things I use in my job, and which I did pick up in college! Oh, yes, I also do free-lance writing, part-time ministry, ham radio, speak six languages, and just generally enjoy life and learning new things every day. I recognized at a certain point that there was going to be a certain dichotomy between my education and my livelihood, and I am at peace with that.
