What was your major and what do you do now?

[pontifex]

I saw the "What's your major?" thread and wanted to take it a bit further, so what was your major and what do you do now? Basically, I'm looking at 2 things:

1. Are you doing what you went to school for?
2. Trying to see what type of job you do with your major.

Trying to help me figure out what I want to do.

[Tarrant64]

Major: Was Computer Science, now aiming for an AAS. in Microcomputer Technology
Should be done in about a year.

Job: Doing IT work for an engineering consulting company. I've learned everything I do now from on the job work, nothing really doing CS. I've moved to a community college to get some more in depth work with what I want to do. Computer Science did not offer me what I do in a real world working environment.

Timing is everything and getting a Geology degree in the middle of an oil bust was not good timing.
