That really is a good one...
I've seen & experienced that most people end up in a job very different from their edcuational back ground. I have observed that at times these people turn out to be very good in whatever they do.
I've myself as an example in this case. I am a graduate in chemistry with a Management degree in Marketing. I had a flair for IT and ended up as an SAP Consultant, couldn't enjoy being as a consultant too long. Today I am working as Head HR in a Hospital. My knowledge of IT has helped me attend to the MIS needs of my institution, my exposure to Science has enabled me to understand what my colleague mention in their medical profession and my management know how enables me understand the business needs of my management. So, now my superiors feel I am good at what I am doing and I am happy about it.
I've various such examples in my institution. Basically these people end what they are doing and finally the output turns out to be really good.
