It’s funny, I went to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. I’m glad I went and it’s definitely made my career easier. However, as a power plant operator, in my state a degree isn’t needed, just licensing.

    I got a two year English degree and now work in tech. It was primarily focused on creative writing, which doesn’t help much in my field.

      I have a Master’s in English but I’m the IT expert in the family, not my wife, who has a PhD in Informatics and develops agent-based simulations.
