Did you end up doing what you went to school for?

I have a bachelor in French literature. I realize after I was done that unless I continue for a PhD it is rather useless...look good on my resume!
Now I will be finishing another bac but this time in Social work, then will take a year off and will continue for a master, with an emphases on sexology
Now I am working as an SP mainly and I also have a more "regular" job that has something to do with French

If you can say that someone (not me) who studied food and nutrition ended up as a restaurant owner and then traded that for a farm is still working in the same business (food) then my schooling is still somewhat relevant to what I do today.
yes, my doctoral thesis was about a quebec father of five who lost his hands in a sawmill accident and had them replaced with bear paws. he spent the rest of his life explaining the accident to his french neighbours. I called it "Pourquoi Paw?"
if i am funny than you are ... well ... let us stay away from the insult crowd and debate intelligently
firstly
i said " incompetent parents sending their children to the church of scientology or a capitalistic pig everyone gets honours rip off school or an islamic terrorist school etc"
if you want to go to a relgious school or any other type of school be my guest as my system gives such freedoms
as to who decides which schools are incompetent if not outright looney and should be banned is a valid point of debate ( I would not want that job)
secondly
no way should a parent have to work a second job to pay for an alternative school when their school taxes have been taken that would pay for it
you see the public schools through rose coloured glasses where i see a much better system
second rate is not good enough for me

I'm a geek. I have a not-very-practical university degree, and a more practical diploma. I'm working the the field that the diploma is in, but not at what it says on it. 
That's ignoring other educational stuff I've done. So, I'm closeish-but-not-really to doing what I trained for. I'm happy with my life, YMMV.

I refer to my textbooks too. I have a Marketing textbook that helped with a few of the advertising points my agency has used.
i went to University with the intention of becoming a dentist. Switched after looking at the text books, f'ing gross. and i thank God that i didnt go that route.
I have swerved into a couple of different "careers" post graduation, each time following current passions and opportunities. i hope this path works for me over the long run because it is quite exciting !
