I studied Computational Science and I was a Software Engineering Manager so I was in the same field.

My college major was Electrical Engineering. Very early in my career it was a breeze getting a job in the field but I grew not to like it due to corporate structure. My tech background led me to FinTech where I really enjoy the fast paced results that come from building and implementing those systems. The financial world has their own lingo which is intended to obfuscate the underlying concepts. It's a really remarkable world.

I majored in writing and studio art. These areas have served me well in all my positions although I don't have aa career specific to either.

No. My college major was print journalism. I wanted to be a reporter but I realized early on that I needed to write but maybe not in that field. I'm now a content marketer helping brands with SEO and strategy.
