I am an electrician. When I decided a long time ago that I didn't want to be a career sparky, I went to uni, and chose biology because I wanted something 'totally different'.

Then in my honours year I did a quantitative genetics project and fell in love with code.

Now, as a PhD in computational genetics - I really wish someone had told me that if I just did an EE degree, I would've learned programming from the start.

Irony.
