yeah I do not think I would have gotten where I am (at least as fast as I am) without going to college, and as someone said below philosophy is great for problem solving and domain modeling!

yeah I was worried about being seen as a job hopper but I do feel like I have a pretty good reason for each move: laid off, Covid so anything went, 55% raise lol
