Colorahdo 07/31/18 1:12:07 PM #1:	My major is Zoology, most people think "lol this idiot studied zoos", when really it was a pretty intensive physiology, chemistry, and ecology degree.

Master_Bass 07/31/18 1:23:03 PM #8:	MrResetti posted... I don't think a degree shows up on a background check Yeah background checks usually just query a crime database to see if you've been convicted of anything. They might check out some other stuff but they don't have power to really dig. Background checks are only a big deal if you're getting a clearance for the federal job. That's when they get annoying and a bit intrusive. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. <cite>Master_Bass posted [p:906030104] in You think ...

Why are you applying for a personal trainer position? I'm trying to change careers so I'm just trying all kinds of weird jobs right now I applied to be a park ranger and it specifically said "must have degree in WILDLIFE BIOLOGY". Wildlife Bio is a degree at my school, separate from Zoology, but they're very similar Same with this personal training thing I just saw "must have degree in exercise science or physiology". You'd be surprised that many people make that joke every time. When I had my old career in emergency medicine my boss asked that. "So's that like zoos or something?
