<p>My degree from undergrad BA with honors in sociology is framed & in my hall closet with my law degree. Never formally practiced or got a job with the sociology degree but learned a lot about people, organizations & leadership in the process of getting the undergrad degree–probably more in many ways than the law degree about leading, building consensus, working with all kinds of people, creating new orgs/things. Practiced law for years & then used the skills developed in college to volunteer with PTA & leading Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts for my kids. Have now just created & am running a non-profit so am doing more public health instead of practicing law. It has been an interesting journey & I think it helps my kids see that we do keep reinventing ourselves.</p>
<p>Hubby’s college diploma–not sure where it physically is at all. His is in accounting, which he has never formally practiced. He’s worked for the federal government for decades in communications & computers science but the accounting is useful in helping balance our personal books and also in understanding budgets & purchasing at his office.</p>
