I’m super curious after gathering data for a project that I’m working on and it got me thinking. What did you study at uni and did you eventually specialize in that field. If not, why?
What did you study and is it what you currently trade as?
After leaving school I went to college and studied mechanical and electrical engineering. I went as part of a Y. T. S (Youth training scheme). I completed my first year, but I was offered a full time job, which didn’t really have much to do with engineering. So unfortunately I didn’t complete the other two years. After 7 years, I left that job and did start a new job actually doing mechanical and electrical engineering, but unfortunately after 3 years I was made redundant and I’m in job that doesn’t require any form of engineering or electrical know how. It’s a lot of water under the bridge now, looking back now I’d wish I stayed on at college and completed the other 2 years. Hope this helps you in your quest. If you require any more information please let me know.
I did a bachelors degree in neuroscience. Did an internship in genetics and some extra courses in nutrition, endocrinology, pharmacology and I did a semester abroad. Right now I'm doing a masters degree in biomedical sciences with an internship in dietics in patients with a rare genetic muscle disorder, some extra courses in immunology, endocrinology, fertility and microbiome and I want to do my second internship and specialisation probably in genetics, but yeah takes some time to figure things out. I might do a PhD after this if I get one lol.
Very much so indeed... Most cases are extremely upsetting, frightening and even sole destroying... However there is a huge amount of satisfaction when all our efforts see the perpetrators brought to justice, and hopefully some small rest and peace to the victims families.
Damn😔it probably does shatter you but clearly you’re there for a reason and people like yourself are necessary public servants. I wanted to study Criminology fresh out of Highschool but I realized later that I just don’t have the temperament for it. Good on you though and thank you 🙏🏽
I studied communications and media but I’m now an associate lecturer for communication theory and based in the Netherlands but currently on sabbatical in Washington DC.
I'm located in Denmark - took a profession bachelor we call pædagog, (social educator, social worker/care taker) qnd now work as a pædagog - within my specialization. (Marginalized & stigmatized groups - in my case specifically I work at a home for multihandicapped children.
Your job sounds interesting but I can only imagine what you most feel like sometimes because of the people that are you treating. The life stories and experiences. Woah, thanks for sharing.
My job is SUPER interesting, the children are fighters & even though that their indivual struggles are extremely hard - then it's more of a struggle how people look down on both the children I work with but also just my profession in general. Welfare professions are sadly not that praised.
My first degree was in Economics, with a minor in marketing. Why? Because, in order to keep my racing enterprise flourishing, I had to know how to present my team as a business that they could benefit from. That was the marketing portion. I needed to know what the stock markets were doing to prevent throwing my money away. My second degree was in mechanical engineering because I didn't believe I knew enough about the physics of building and setting up race cars. It all went to shit after the accident.
I studied Social Work. I got my masters in Social Work as well. Then passed my state boards as a licensed therapist. I am working within my field currently and also training college interns. I am looking to eventually move into becoming a College Professor. I’d love to go for my PhD but I’m schooled out and tired.
I got a degree in Computer Science. I worked in IT for twenty years and now I teach Computer Science courses at a local college.

I am just looking at the career choices the younger men have compared to the older men. Also comparing the young women's careers to the young men's career. Times really have change like wow.
Yes, I have been out of work for the last 18 months. I just had another job interview and was not hired even though I was told I had great qualifications. I am too old to work in IT apparently.
The thing is you have quite the ambition compared... to the youth is what I am watching. The men 40+ have a lot going for them amd a lot of drive is what I am. observing so far.
I graduated college later in life and if you looked at my resume you might think I am younger than I actually am. I get a phone interview and they are always enthusiastic. When I go in person for a second interview I can tell as soon as they see me I am not what they expected. Most of the hiting mangers are younger guys.
Which doesn't make sense since you're more likely to stay longer than the youth. The youth these days job hope like every 3 years. They are more likely to have you for 10 years plus. Have you tried FANG companies also discord reditt. Those campanies have lsss discrimination.
Marketing, commercials lots of YouTube crap. Pays the bills. And is fun. And I did learn a lot in Film classes. But being a business owner has shown me how inept our schools are. We should be teaching business and stock martlet strategy not calculus. Or maybe less calculus.
