yes, industrial engineering major

I had an internship with Va Power working in power plants across Va and WVa and I realized "factories" in small towns was not going to work for me. So I went to my advisor, Dr TJ Green and he asked me, "Which classes do you like the most"...i told him i actually love programming and if i had to do it all over again, would have been a CS major. He recommended I interview with Arthur Andersen(the genesis of Accenture) and I worked there for 7+ years. I am now old and really a commercial product guy, running businesses and P&Ls in the fintech space for awhile now.
