<p>Binx--
I know that I am not working directly in my undergrad major. I was a microbiology major, completed a 1 year internship to get my medical technologist license. Worked in a hospital laboratory for 6 years and switched to law.</p>
<p>Why switch? Probably like the MIT engineers, after 5 years, the work got pretty mundane and less challenging. Only career roads that continued forward were management and I wasn't interested.</p>
<p>Worked as a lawyer for 5 years and no longer practice. Now I'm an at home mom who is hardly ever at home. Best job that I've had yet!</p>
