I must say that combining skills is everything. Having studied Sociology (now getting my Masters now in Luzern) one does not find many job oppertunities. However my work experience as a computer service technician, being one of the top ten persuasive/communication analysis speakers in the US combined with the skills that ones learns as a sociologist have opened a number of doors in tech firms, that want somebody who understands the technical side of the business and is able to communicate it to people who are not gifted in computers.

Nobody is knocking my door down as it is, but my chances are better than somebody who has simply studied in one field and has no experience in anything else.

My advice, think of combining things that other people don t.
