As someone currently stuck in their family’s campground, may I ask what field you eventually went into?

Computer Science, class of 1980, just as the PC revolution was getting rolling. I worked for Silicon Valley startups, Intel, Microsoft, and other well-known tech companies during a 40 year career.
That was truly an incredible time to join the industry, much as today would be for someone specializing in AI and ML systems. Technology was changing as fast as the players could push it - which was very fast indeed - and I got to ride the wave.
“A PC on every desktop…” - when PCs in business were new and that was a crazy vision - “… and in every home” - which was far, far crazier.
But it became reality. Exhilarating.
