OK I did Russian studies which some might see as a pointless degree and I haven't had a chance to use it in my current employment though I could have joined various organisations in government or other areas.

We need to hook up sometime, so I can buy you a drink (or two). You have the same degree as me, but I added a teaching degree with it ...to make it more marketable.

The problem; foreign languages are a dying subject in US schools (except Spanish)



I have used my degree, but not recently. One interviewer told me he didn't care what my degree was, but it showed that I'm trainable. So, I'm trapped in the semiconductor industry.

I always felt sorry for the guys that go to the tech schools, that pay $32k to learn how to be a wafer fab technician in the semiconductor industry.
