I have a degree in Chemical engineering, but i'm now working on things that are 100% completely different from my original field . For now, I cant even remember what's the first law of thermodynamic ! F = MA power of 10 ?

Did i waste my time getting a degree in chemical engineering ?

I'm going to say a strong "no" so that i dont feel guilty about the money and time "used" ( refuse to say squander ) on getting the damn hard ChemE degree when i could do something else 10x easier and more aligned to my main interest .

However, I do feel that a degree is a great "financial insurance" just in case your money making hobby or business dream doesnt work out well in the end ....... Then you could may be use your business/crafting experience and the degree to get a highly paid managerial/executive job on related companies ?
