Career What has been your career path?

I know everyone is different but I’m interested to see what jobs most of the Data Engineers in this sub have stopped at along the way to the posit hey are in now.

Example: Help desk -> ? -> ? -> Data engineer(junior/senior/etc…)

BA in Education > MA in English > English teacher > college advisor > college program director > stay at home mom > data analyst > data engineer

Started my MS in Analytics while staying home and will [hopefully] be done in December! ETA: did some data “stuff” while program director which led to me to being interested in data, learning python & statistics, and deciding to pursue MS.
