As long as we're comparing education, I have bachelor's degrees in Music Performance and Computer Science. I'm a software developer for a regional bank doing mostly web work using ASP.NET. My first job out of college was a software developer for a laboratory testing company doing mostly desktop apps using VB6 and then .NET. For all the bad press Microsoft gets, they really have a top-notch development ecosystem. I also play trombone in a few local groups, some volunteer, some paid.
