What did you last study and is it relevant to your current work?

Hello all. I'm curious about whatever you studied in tertiary education ended up being directly relevant to your line of work.

For me, not very relevant. I studied chemical engineering in a local uni and now I'm working for a e-commerce company (not gonna name it), mostly focusing on optimising its operations.

There's still a little relevance I guess, as the scientific methods and data analysis skills I learned in chemical engineering are employed at my job every day. But obviously, I'm not dealing with chemicals anymore.

What about you guys? Looking forward to reading your experiences.

That doesn't too bad. Like you said, the core techniques like data analysis you learned in university still come in useful for your work.

For me it's more direct. I studied marketing and I'm more or less using the same skillset for work, although marketing was going through a huge change (digitisation) when I was in school so I had to pick up a few new skills such as learning about new platforms when I entered the workforce.
