Interviewer: Tell me about your educational background.
Jon: Well, I got my bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of North Carolina. I chose this major because I have always been interested in technology. Even when I was young, I used to like taking apart electronics to see what was inside.
Interviewer: Interesting. Besides classes related to your major, what kinds of classes did you enjoy?
