Could you discuss how you chose engineering as a career path, and even pursued a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, all while realizing that it was not the best match for you? I wouldn't say that engineering wasn't a perfect match for me. I have an uncanny ability to visualize processes and objects before they are even prototyped or in motion.
