Hey! I made a joke during the livestream today about my degree choice, something like "Me sitting here sad with my biology degree since I cant work at intrepid" and the AoC twitch channel replied you have people on the team with Biology degrees.

For those of us that don't have direct degrees in software engineering, which departments do people like this work in? I'd be very interested in at least applying, but I am unsure what departments these are. (Specifically people with Bio degrees, but I would be interested in other fields/departments as well!)

Sometimes our paths of life and careers can take us in a direction other than what degree we may hold. In this case, a candidate with a degree that is not industry specific, will have had some significant time of work in QA or in CS while self teaching through the bountiful resources available online with design, art or coding and the use of commercially available engines like unity or unreal. Building a personal portfolio that represents the developmental expertise you’ve established can go a long way in convincing a hiring manager of how you can contribute on a project 💪
