particular job though it isn't directly related to my core knowledge
that I studied.
Sometimes they mull over having the correct answer but honestly there
is no correct answer. It depends on you, on what you like and where
you see yourself to be in the next couple of years.
What I can tell and assure you is that whatever you do, keep
developing your transferrable skills. In the long run they are the
ones which will enable you to work effeciently in whatever work you
choose to do.
Core or no core work, transferable skills like communication, making a
presentation, report writing, giving a talk, small programming skills
will always come in handy in your day to day work life so keep adding
them to your skill set.
Unlike the core knowledge, trasferable skills are always important,
whatever be the nature of your work. They are the little nuts and
bolts that will keep your work engine going.
