Many years ago I graduated from high school. Got accepted to Oregon State University and was pursuing a degree in business administration when it really hit me that it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. I had a friend in the engineering program there that told me I would be a good fit, so I began looking at the college's webpage and after checking career paths & researching a bit I came to the conclusion at the end of winter term of my freshman year that I wanted to pursue Computer Engineering.

I kept taking business classes that spring and took an intro class to the ECE department. Fell in love with it immediately and changed my major after that term. 5 long hard years of Computer Engineering with a CS minor and 1 year of work experience interning at Mentor Graphics and RadiSys, I have all this in front of me.

Excellent work Jordan!! If you do what you like, it hardly seems like work. Sadly i don't find myself in that boat any longer so it's important to stick to and accomplish what you enjoy most because when it starts feeling like a job, it's no longer that much fun.

Ever wonder why BOSS spelled backwards is double S, O, B? Coincedence?

Congrats #2. Have fun pursuing the career. I've got about a year and some change to go on mine, but I'll be finishing up with a similar degree. Must be something about the name.
