-: My name is Jack Terry.
I'm a defense contractor with Leidos.
I've been working in the Columbia
office for the last 14 years.
I went the business route because it's what I was
interested in, and the information systems route
from a master's perspective because
it was associated with the work I was doing.
That can get you to a leadership
position as a defense contractor.
But so can a comp sci degree or double-E degree,
and in doing some hard science
work for the first 10 years of your career.
There really is no perfect path
to becoming a senior leader at a defense contractor.
It's just taking whatever focus you do have,
and applying it appropriately.
