I majored in history, but knew near the end of my days as a full time student I needed something practical so I began taking courses in accounting and computers at a nearby community college. Have been in finance/accounting for more than 25 years now.
I was in engineering and decided to take business courses as electives. Ended up with an engineering degree and an economics degree. Spent 30+ years in industrial sales.
Now I sell real estate part time. Semi retired.
