If you are okay with sharing, what did you do with your Philosophy degree?

I got a BA and an MA. When it came time to decide whether or not to apply to PhD programs, I considered that I was already in my early 30a and thought better of it. I am now taking prereqs to apply to Diagnostic Medical Imaging AS programs.

I could have spent another five years in a program having had to move to who knows where and at the end either failed to find employment or had to move to who knows where for a low paying and unstable job only to continually repeat the process for years, never making money.

So, those degrees have so far done nothing obvious for me. I worked cleaning carpets in thr summer at the campus i got my two degrees from. But perhaps they'll look okay when it comes time to apply to x-ray tech programs, I hope.
