From what I hear, what you're going through is pretty normal though. A lot of people who graduate end up getting jobs that aren't even related to their degrees. ^^0 Both my parents majored in math, and my dad is a benefits consultant. He's been with the same company for over 35 years. My mom's first job was at a drug store. She volunteered as a computer teacher when I lived in OH, and now she works as a computer teacher/tech help at another school here, which she's been doing since like 94 or 95?
Even my sister. She majored in graphic design and she's had several jobs unrelated to that. She's working in that field now, but right after she graduated she didn't. Her previous job she worked with a Vutech printer, printing LARGE billboards and such for various companies.
Don't worry about it too much. It's hard to find a job relating to your degree fresh out of college. The job market isn't that great right now either, so be happy that you even HAVE a job. Companies everywhere are laying off a lot of people. >_< Hang in there!
