Non-Traditional Career Routes?
Dave Bieler asks: "With such
a broad range of interests in science and technology, it was not easy for
me to decide on a major in college. Currently, I am an Electrical
Engineering major at Penn State, however I have considered several other
majors: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Physics. Since
science and technology is booming, it may be possible to get into a career
in an area other than that traditionally associated with certain majors. ex -
a Physics major becoming a Computer Security specialist. I'm curious to
hear about any careers that were preceded by non-traditional paths."
Speaking as an Electrical Engineer who decided to drop that and go into
computers, this question strikes a bit of a chord with me. Has anyone
else gone to college intending to prepare for one career, only to fall
into another, either by luck or design?
My troll for the day:
Sounds like a typical female boss. To gain respect, they believe they have to be hard-asses. Your situation matches one I had about 4 years ago at the Glamour Shots world Hq. I was pretty much the lead guy in the digital department, and had a female boss. She busted my ass on a daily basis, gave me entirely too much work (because I was the best) and generally hated my guts. Funny how everytime something critical and time-sensitive came in, she handed it straight to me.
Female bosses, in my experience, suck BAD.
