- moh_maya 10y agoFrom life sciences (PhD / ivy league) to teaching children to training teachers to (now) setting up a startup to train and teach blue collar workers. Heavily based on adult learning theory, interactivity, and appropriate technology use. Teaching myself C++ (unity) and java (android). So, yep. :)

- jetti 10y agoGraduated in 2008 with an Economics degree. Couldn't get a job for about 8 months and finally got a job because my future father-in-law pulled some strings. I did data entry and I hated it. As of now, I've been a professional developer for 5 years.
