I know that a college degree is not very important in other countries like here where a college diploma is your passport to a good employment. When I took up Industrial Engineering, all the while my idea was to work in a factory or in an industrial company. And I was lucky to be hired by a bank. It may be out of synch with my course although it is somewhat related when I was assigned in the systems department as a methods analyst. And from thereon, I moved to another bank to continue with my banking career.
