    I'm a nurse. I work on the education side now, in a hospital. Best of both worlds, because I still get the clinical side but a lot more autonomy.ย 

    @ashaislurking I'm in grad school too. Feels like I've been in school forever, but I'm down to 7.5 months to go now. How long do you have?

    I posted in the Randoms thread, so don't mind the repost: I'm a technical program manager at an autonomous vehicle company! I'm pretty psyched about the technology and hoping that we'll be able to make it a reality sooner rather than later. But, I also know it's super controversial.ย
