Original wanted to become an attorney then decided the years of schooling were more than I wanted to take on. Then switched to Elementary Education, but decided to get married and have a child, so quite college altogether and went into banking. Thank goodness for that little detour because I don't have the patience to teach small children! But since I'm dealing with regulations now anyway, it really kinda worked out for what I originally thought I'd end up doing!

I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Fisheies Management, hence my Avatar. No jobs in that field in the 80s due many political reasons, so I became a Chemist for 17 years before I got into the banking business.

I was considering going on to get a masters in I/O Psych. The college I graduated from has a program for it. But then I started working in Compliance and that went right out the window!

BA in Psych. Needed a job after college and landed in a mortgage company. Psych degree served me well in that environment.

I use my skills of teaching young children quite often in this business so my education wasn't "wasted".
Yep - that Animal Science degree has provided me with superior skills for scooping poo and managing dumb animals. That ties seamlessly into banking compliance.

I vaguely remember the first two years, but graduated with a BS in political science and minors in economics and natural resources. I was going to be a tree hugging lawyer...

Political Science.
Did one semester of law school (at night), but stopped because I didn't know why I was going. Perhaps it was a premonition?

BA in Social Studies with an emphasis in American History. The plan was to receive a secondary education certification but nixed that idea after my practicum at the junior high school. Thought about law school but decided that I needed to work a while first. Seventeen years later I'm still here...
