If you weren't in tech, what else would you be doing? I'd be a journalist.

Definitely be doing art - like painting. Or maybe a chemistry professor.

I would probably have gone the tenure-track, academic research route instead of going into industry. I was quite torn when I finished graduate school and really the only reason I ended up in industry is because industry offered me an opportunity I wanted before academia did.

Question is, why are you still in tech..? (Not judging, just curious as to why you didn’t pursue that) or are you pursuing it in the tech domain ?

I’m actually quitting very soon to pursue my passion—life and leadership coach and new thought minister

I'd be a butcher :)

I'd have a studio of my own in a tropical location and I'll make and sell acrylic paintings :)

Working for a B-Corp or nonprofit

Something in emergency management

I'd start my own small business, something creative involving textiles

creating music/soundtracks for video games

When I was a kid I wanted to be an Astronomer...then a Sports Reporter...both seem to be quite impossible careers unless you are a genius or know the right people.

That’s funny I earned my undergrad degree in journalism as well!

I would be making music.

Does anyone here know when corporate America and other global corporations are going to take dirt naps. I have a feeling the future is going to be driven by individuals. Thoughts?

Statistics, nonprofit coordination, or some kinda customer engagement stuff like community things (😉) or field marketing

High school counselor then HS principal.

Probably environmental engineer if I couldn't make a career in music work

Diplomat

I’d be back in consulting
