Firstly, it's not like you ever get to apply anything you learn in grad school while in an industry related job. Secondly, and more importantly, employers don't really look for technical skills when employing people. They mostly look for your ability to apply yourself to a task & analytic skills.
I will take that into consideration, thank you. Though I wonder if certain employers, maybe depending upon the industry, expect you to have a certain level of knowledge in the field you got your degree in.
One thing I can tell for certain is that you can get into finance & Banking sector with a science background.
I have noticed that, too.

I used to think the type of degree you get dictates your work compeltely, but that seems not to be the case.
I agree. I know someone that has a degree in chemistry but ended up working as a network administrator.
