- whether you have earned a degree
- Yes
- what level of degree you have earned
- B.S., currently in school for MD
- what field of study you earned your credentials in
- B.S. Chemistry, Medical technology
- whether or not you're currently employed in that same field of study
- Worked for 3 years at a stem cell transplantation/cellular therapy lab in a cancer hospital
- whether your degree was required for you to attain said job (and I mean whether your specific degree was required, not if, say, a bachelor's degree in general was required)
- No, but most of us had med. tech degrees or biology related degrees
- your country/region of origin, as this may showcase differences in the education system of one country vs another
- U.S.A.
It's more important you pay attention to the fields that will have high demand in the coming years. In other words, if you are in the US manufacturing of any kind unless it is biotechnology will not be a very good choice. Skilled trades are always in demand. A lot of job losses are because the economy is realigning for knowledge workers. The way things are going all jobs will be 1) service sector 2) knowledge/IT/management/finance 3) military and defense and even these aren't completely safe.
