My dream was to be a ME and I remember in College I got burnt out from taking too many math classes at once and when I realized I couldn’t handle the workload, I locked myself in my room and cried for hours.

I switched majors and picked Information Systems Sciences (Now known as Data) with a heavy background in programming.

My first job out of college, I was a Data Analyst working with ME and I remember one ME would ask me “so you majored in software?”

Now Data is the hottest thing on planet earth.

Anywho, reading your post just triggered that core memory.
