Which would you think is better? First study towards a degree in a particular field but possibly not ending up working in that field

or first getting a job, then studying in the field which is directly relevant to your job?

Obviously this does not apply to certain fields, but lets leave those fields for the purposes of simply answering this question?

[c=#359E00]this is actually hard to answer because it's applied differently for each individual[/c]

@YukikoAmagi Ok but what would YOU think would work for YOU?

YukikoAmagi

@iMystery [c=#359E00]i took college first. That's what happened to me[/c]

@YukikoAmagi What happened to you? Took college and ended up in a different field than what you studied?

YukikoAmagi

@iMystery [c=#359E00]yes[/c] 😂😂

iMystery · M

@YukikoAmagi What did you study?

YukikoAmagi

@iMystery [c=#009E4F]Economy, management[/c]

@YukikoAmagi Cool... similar to what I am currently doing.

But Economics and Management can be applied to ANY field... so how is it that you found yourself in a field which you did not study for?

@iMystery [c=#359E00]i was work as customer service officer[/c]

@YukikoAmagi Business Acumen learned in what you studies surely played a huge role in what you did.

@iMystery [c=#359E00]i'm not sure, my work was handling costumer needs or complaints[/c] 😑

@YukikoAmagi Yes, but you needed to have particular sense of "systems thinking" to understand all other aspects of that particular business/company you worked for in order to properly perform you role, right?

YukikoAmagi

@iMystery [c=#359E00]yes, i must understand how things work[/c]

iMystery · M

@YukikoAmagi Precisely and that is where the Management part of what you studied comes into play...

Management studies include systems thinking... knowing how things work.

@iMystery [c=#359E00]that's for middle and upper class staff, i only low class staff that do things as i told[/c] 😌
