Problem solving and analytics are my passion. Engineering careers offer the most challenging applications of these two skills. Engineering is also so very versatile. Even given the software bubble I've chosen, there is still so much latitude in terms of what industry you can utilize your engineering skills. I've worked in telecom, both wired and wireless. I currently work in storage, which was an industry shift. I can take these skills just about anywhere. Being agile with math and science opens a world of opportunity up to you. Good Luck!
