@proto_azure I am a few things, predominately a Data Scientist, however I am also trained as an Electrical and Computer Engineer and have a full EE lab here. Though it is only a part of what I do some of the time.
For me I mostly just love seeing advanced maths realized in simple ways you can play with hands on. There isnt a lot of fields that have that, at least not from a setting you can do in a relatively inexpensive lab (compared to say a particle physics lab or something that easily would cost many orders of magnitude more).
@proto_azure Well I had an unusual university career. I started university at 15/16 I think it was. I skipped high school and went right to university. So I had some extra time.
Plus I went through university suprisingly fast, tested out of a lot of the more basic classes or would take multiple classes and just go and takethe tests and not really do much of the coursework that wasnt graded.
