I was good at science, won lots of awards, so I just fell into majoring in Biology/Molecular Genetics. (This was before computer science degrees were mainstream, especially for women.) I realized the error of my ways within a few years of graduating. Long story short, I now direct Internet Marketing for a large company. Internet Marketing is very hot, interesting, and lucrative; some might even find it glamorous. It requires extremely strong analytical ability, as Direct/Database Marketing skills are required for the kind of Internet Marketing I do. I also direct creative, in context of both website design as well as marketing banners and emails, so I get to apply right-brain skills as well.
