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.

I Studied Marine and Offshore in poly and uni..
Abit lucky, NSF as Navy Engineer, than working in marine industry for 6 years already so yeah can say related field.
Studies were on designs, work is about Repair and Spare supplies.

I have a degree in English Lit but I'm in HR now. Kinda expected that I wouldn't be doing something directly related to English Lit because it's notoriously difficult to do so with a arts degree.

Yeah it does sound like you managed to land a very relevant NSF vocation. Not many Singaporean guys are so lucky.
Is your passion still on designing rather than repair and spare supplies?
Well, its just different stages of the process.
Its more interesting to be on the repair side. As we are involved with more components rather designing just one section.
