I did an undergrad in physics, and at one point I wanted to be a particle physicist. But I didn't want to go straight to grad school, so I spent a couple years teaching middle school math and science. I loved that, and spent 25 years teaching instead of going back to physics.

If you don't mind my asking, what are you doing now after spending years studying such a specific area of particle physics?

I've been a software engineer for the better part of a decade now. My areas of focus during that time have been NLP, messaging, teaching, politics, and now data analysis and processing around criminal justice.
