    Very interesting. I also do 3d printing for fun hee hee. Yeah, I know a lot of people from humanities who’ve jumped over to tech. One of the people I know was Art but they have been in tech for over a decade now

      If you don’t mind telling me, what kind of roles did they get into? I worked at a small company and was a jack of all trades, started coding then did their DevOps, managed other coders, did compliance consulting gigs, was de facto sys admin, etc. But I am trying to think of what I could do in the tech world that would also leverage my skills in the humanities, rather than something purely technical, since I have a somewhat unique combination of skills with the academic background. Also because I never specialized in any one technical role, so it would be hard to jump into a senior role for any of the technical positions I had

        I believe they mentioned they worked help desk, QA, software programmer, and then I think possibly something in networking
