re: Has anyone here ever entered a field that had nothing to do with their degree?

Degree is in landscape architecture. Did that for seven years. Recently switched to the glass trade. It's been an easy transition. My dislike of architects is still the same. 
And project management is project management. Clients, budgets, and sales are all managed the same, regardless of whether you're the designer or builder.

Degree- political science
Job- Purchasing Manager
As stated previously, it's easy if you are willing to learn and have some initiative.

OMG Yes... Degree at LSU was Political Science since I SUCKED at math and science and any useful things like Engineering.... But had high ACT and was on a full ride ROTC scholarship and come from a military family, so I figured what the heck, if I don't get active duty military I'll go to law school with this degree....
Irony: I get Active Duty "Regular Army" commission upon graduation from LSU, and the branch they put me in? Field Artillery!! For those of you that don't know, there are few branches in the military that requires more math/geometry/physics than figuring out how to hit a target 15 miles away...so after trying to escape the hard courses at LSU, I wound up having to "do the math" anyway!

Got a degree in History, ended up working for the state interviewing folks for unemployment benefits. Finally used it for a few years teaching social studies but ended up counseling.
ETA: Still plan on using the history skills to pull off some Stephen Ambrose-type shite in the future.
