I even got all the extra-credit answers right. I think I'm just a sucker for good and strange stories. So I graduated and became a programmer for my day job. Actually, started as a tech writer. Showing a published novel does give you a certain panache. The degree did help. I excel at creating alien cultures (both human and ET).

Did you stick with things related to your major, or take a detour like I did?
