What did you study (could include certifications) and what is your career today?
13 comments
I studied Cultural history, museology and heritage studies and also have done some university level courses in archival studies and records management and various languages.
I work as an archivist in public administration. So not the cool historical kind of archive, but the more digital public sector one most people never think about.
I have a B.Sc. in business studies and I’m basically done with my M.Sc. in finance and accounting. I work as an accountant.
To varying degrees (lol): cultural anthropology, Hindi and political sciences of southeast Asia (equivalent to b.a.). Then English literature, German and history (equivalent to m.a.) then translator German<->English (finished with state diploma). I am now a project manager in the translation sector (:
Now ask me if I like it. (No, please don’t, too depressing, it just pays the bills)
My first degree,I studied History of Political Philosophy.
Later I got various other qualifications in teaching, linguistics and teacher training.
Now I mostly work at a university, where I train new teachers in English and how to incorporate English into other subjects at school.
I also run some high school courses at a ‘tourism’ school, do some translation work, testing in English language and occasionally some interpreting.
I studied process and environmental engineering and now I work as a functional safety engineer working for customers in the pharmaceutical and chemical sector.
I studied biochem and history. Working as an EU policy officer now.
I have a Bachelor‘s degree in PoliSci and Master‘s degree in International Relations. Since 2020 I work in accounting.
I have a bachelors in heritage studies – art history and I work as an archivist for an auction house.
But this year I got back into grad school and I’m slowly working my way toward a classics degree, I’d love to teach at some point.
I did a so called “Ausbildung” and work in marketing now. Good thing is it’s a multi million company. Still think the IT path would have been the better choice but i am to old now….well and to lazy.
I started with studying English cause I wasn’t sure yet what I wanted to do later in my career and I really just wanted to experience college party life and get drunk every day.
That was fun for a little while, but I began seeking academic challenge, so in my second year I switched to Computer Science.
Feels like the right decision cause it’s better for my career prospective and I like it a lot.
Ancient history (BA) and history (MA). I work with consulting and e-learning, and sometimes I do an odd shift at a museum
I just did my last exam for a Master of Engineering (MEng) in computer science. No career yet, waiting for results
I did an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering maintenance, along with what would roughly translate to you as an “associate’s degree” in mechanical engineering. I’m still in that line of work but will be changing industries in a few weeks.
