Spot on!

I vote No, as I graduated in Mechanical Engineering and now I work in Government Finance. But I got into the internship where I started in govt due to my BSME.

However, this is after about 6 years working in my field.

I went to college so that I could live comfortably and make a decent salary. I'll be graduating in May and have already landed a job that is going to pay me a pretty good salary and allow me to live comfortably, so yeah, I'm going to be doing what I went to school for!
