Yeah, one of my sister's chartered accountant colleagues left to become a wine taster. Basically just chucked in ten years of experience and went back to zero again. Fair play I say.
For me, I'm pretty much the same as Bellatrix. My degree is in communications, journalism, blah blah. And I am working in broadcasting now, not thanks to the degree but thanks to experience, some of which I had before I'd even gone to college. Which is perfectly logical - it's just that type of industry.
I'm less than a year out of college but I'm fairly confident that when I try to move ahead within the same field, having the relevant degree will certainly bulk up any application and it could possibly be the thing that makes you stand out from the crowd in an interview scenario. I guess what the degree does show is commitment to that particular field. Willingness to spend four years immersed in that world, learning how it works, is surely worth something.
But you just can't predict where things will go, really. In the place where I currently work, one of the guys from Sales is leaving to become a Garda.
Again, fair fucks to him. Just do what you want to do. You only live once.
