College is Just a Test

Some go the complete opposite route of what they studied during college once they begin looking for open positions to start out in. This is normal, and completely possible. If you still haven't found a full-time position or have no idea what you want to do, explore jobs that are outside of your area of expertise that you know that you would enjoy. How well you do in school shows companies what kind of work ethic you hold and how determined and capable you are of completing a company's sometimes rigorous training program. You can go into many types of positions that don't require a technical background and some that do as most companies want to train you their way.

My economics professor sophomore year said it best, "College is just a 4 year test to prove to a company that you are capable of succeeding".
