About to start med school, I looked around in the tech industry and never found a role model and found that distressing. I never met a single person in 10 years in the industry and said "I aspire to problem-solve like him/her" or "this is the career trajectory I want to take". I also never wanted to be in tech, was a premed in college, but after taking 1 CS class before the twitter IPO and getting internships at a string of popular companies I somehow became locked into the CS degree.
