6. Arts & Management and Arts Education. I am now a high school librarian, next year I’ll be a community college librarian. So no, my study had very little to do with my workfield.

8. I studied social work. I worked in a psychiatry for an while, then was a probation officer for a few years. Now I work with homeless families. I love how diverse social work is.
