Undergrad: US History, BA (<5 years ago)
Graduate: Library & Information Science, MA
Guess I'm a lucky one. Currently employed as a developer outside of both fields. :D
EDIT: any academic/education-focused startups interested in poaching a developer should contact me at reveldave AT gmail.com
- wyclif 14y agoWhen I was an undergrad I wanted to go on and earn an MA in Library Science. I love information science and books, bookbinding, publishing, archives, &c. But after getting a great heart-to-heart talk with a university Librarian friend, I saw the writing on the wall and saved a lot of money. I'd like to think that I've redirected at least some of that interest (except for the book binding and preservation component) into programming.
- prbuckley 14y agoHi Wyclif, If you are interested in books/book binding and programing I would love to speak with you. Shoot me an email at patrick (at) dodocase (dot) com. cheers, Patrick
- hack_edu 14y agoThe iron grip that the publishing industry has upon anything library is absolutely stunning. There is so much potential for disruption, yet all the valuable IP (journals, indices, etc) is locked up by centuries-old monopolies. It makes Blackboard look like a puny little troll.
