>> So I went to Pomona College for undergraduate.
And I majored in, was a double major in physics and economics.
Economics was sort of my back up major in case physics got too hard.
Then I took a year off and worked for my stepfather in accounting and realized
that I wasn't interested in pursuing that.
There was a bit of a recession at the time that I graduated,
so I like to say that I could not get the jobs that I didn't even want.
So that turned into an application towards graduate school.
So I ended up going to the University of Southern California
in a master's program for electrical engineering.
Towards the end of that I got an offer for an internship type academic part time position
at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
So then I stayed on and enrolled in a PHD program, also in electrical engineering
at the University of Southern California.
