Spent most of my life in the software industry without learning a single thing. Been told that is a pre-requisite for upper management so I am all set! :-)

At an advanced age, decided to go back to school and get degrees in the things I had been screwing up my whole life. Though I worked mostly in business apps, my dissertation topic is in cyber-security of industrial control systems. Since I know very little about either topic, I think I am a typical academic researcher. Hopefully, I will figure something out sooner or later.
