re: Survey: Does your college degree actually apply to your current career/job?.....

yes

I probably shouldn't even reply in this thread as I hold no college degree ... but frick it. Although I did attend college for about a year and a half, most of that time was working on core classes ... never progressed into my chosen major which was Business ... I decided that college classrooms were just not my cup of tea. But 1 course that I did take helped me in my future endeavor ... Accounting 101 or Basic Accounting. The principles I learned in that course kinda stuck with me, and I was able to utilize that knowledge to go from a 1 truck 1 Operator trucking business to a small size truck carrier with a fleet of 15 trucks and 25 trailers in about 5 years. That knowledge also came into play when I began to negotiate the sell to another carrier. The only other diploma of sorts that I have is in Diesel Mechanics from Valdosta Tech (Now Wiregrass Technical College)... but I've never actually worked in a diesel shop, unless you count the few times I fiddled around in the shop when I owned the trucking business. I had a full time mechanic, so I took the course in diesel mechanics just so I would know what the hell the mechanic was talking about. I guess you could say that the accounting knowledge has also helped me in my latest venture as well, that and hands on knowledge gained through the years of operating my first business ... both good and bad.
