I have my BA in Business Administration and I'll be done with my Masters of Arts in Communication in June of this year. I work in recruiting but I'd like to shift towards PR or Brand Marketing.

I have a BS in Animal Science and trained and vet teched for awhile and then fell into the Aerospace industry.  I come from an aviation family so it wasn't too much of a stretch.
Now I'm a project manager for a global company that manufactures seats and other components for commercial airliners.  LOVE IT.  I spent a lot of time trying to find what I thought I would love that would still allow me to support myself and my horses etc.,,,and now I know God's plan is where it's at!

I have a bachelor's in Management (Human Resources) and in Nursing. I work in the coal industry as a Safety Records Analyst. That entails being compliant with the state and federal regulations on Training among several other things. I also run due diligence on sub contracted workers at our facilities - this totals almost 2000 people. I enjoy nursing and have used it at home with several sick relatives and plan to keep up my license - I just couldn't work all weekends or all nights with having small children. May be later :) I have flex time and plenty of funds to go play on the weekend if I want to.

I have my A.S in Paralegal and B.A in Criminal Justice. I worked in a law firm, then to dispatch and now I am working as a release program coordinator in our jail. Kinda a dream job for me. I had to pay my dues and many tears were shed over the rejection but at 25, I am doing what I feel I was meant to.

Went to college for Equine Studies and Pre Vet. Graduated and was not sure what I was going to do so ended up galloping racehorses. Galloping was just too hard on my body so I took my barrel horses to the track and began to pony horses. Liked it but not my dream job. One morning found my self in the right place at the right time. Had a girls bridle break while she was galloping and she was being run off with, no bridle on the horses head. The outrider had already tried to catch the horse and it had gotten by him. The girl was yelling for help so I ended up catching the horse by his nostrils and getting him pulled up. The girl was very thankful. Next thing I knew I was called to the track office ( I just knew I was in deep doo doo, LOL!) They wanted me to consider taking the outrider job. Whew! So I did for several years, then decided I had had enough racetrack and moved on. It was very stressful and not really where I wanted to be anymore. Now I work in an automotive repair shop. I pretty much run the office, do estimates for repairs, order parts, do the billing / books and make sure the customers are happy. I have been known to turn a wrench or two but I think a girl needs to know how to do stuff like that for when you are out on the road alone with the horses. I like it and it's an 8 - 5 job with weekends off so I can horse show.

I worked as an OPC (Order Process Coordinator) for the same company for 5 years. I was offered a position in a similar field for exact pay and 5 mins from my home in Jun '14 and it turned out to be a horrible place to work! Thankfully they fired me due to cutbacks in Nov and now I am a bond agent. I love my job, but I will more than likely be returning to school in the next year to finish my degree (only lack my math courses) and get my certification to become a paralegal.

I'm in the ag industry as a Sales Agronomist and I love my job.  I have a B.S in Agriculture with an emphasis on Crop and Weed production.  To do Ag sales you don't really need a degree but you do need to have some sort of experience in agriculture at least.

On a side note: to those that say they have this or that degree but could not find jobs ESPECIALLY in the ag retail market have either not looked hard enough or are not  willing to move away from home.   I say this because it is a job seekers market right now around here for retail sales in agriculture.
