The Sea Wasp (Ryk E. Spoor)

My B.A. was a double in Mathematics and Computer Science. I went on to get an MA in Math, but ended up using the Comp. Sci. more - although the math training didn't HURT me, by a long shot. And I've been in software engineering ever since (over thirty-five years).

What REALLY helped me was the "polish" put on my "learning how to learn" while at UCBerkeley. THAT has helped me all along (and would have helped me regardless of what field I ended up in).
