Alot of us are not doing the jobs we were educated for, and the jobs we do have more to do with the experience economy and our willingness to do the boring stuff, and alot of different boring stuff, so that a given firm doesn't have to hire extra people for that.
I've given up putting any window dressing on it. People ask me what I do, I tell them I dig holes for a living. A specialized plumber and pump technician.
I sometimes wonder about the percentage of people not working in the field in which they were educated. For example, I have BSc in European history, and I’ve worked as a musician, luthier, and blacksmith.
