   Great tour and contributions. I’m especially interested in the work of Mae Jemison, I’ll have to look her up.
   Thanks, John.

7. I was a double major in college-English and history (with actually more credits in history) but figured that English had a bit more job prospects than history. I did not aspire to a career that included “Do you want fries with that?”
