So I went into a program at San Diego City College, automated equipment technology, and it taught you how to work with robots and how to troubleshoot automated equipment and taught you things about hydraulics, pneumatics, NC milling machines. I got to work in the machine shop and make parts on lathes and work with vertical mills It was very interesting. We also had courses on digital logic and microprocessors and just a wide range of things that were applicable to industry, and it was there that I realized that math was a really useful tool in building analytical skills, that all this math that I had learned prior to this had taught me to like pick apart problems and analyze them in a methodical way.
