Summary

Our guest Lisa Maxwell was encouraged to "go into computers" but initially resisted this advice. She enjoyed playing music so much she ended up with a degree in it, but found that it's hard to make a living that way. Lisa's aptitude for math led her to program for a living, as well as qualifying for MENSA. We talk about instrument petting zoos, the tryout similarities between orchestras and sports teams, and what goes on at those MENSA meetings.

0:39.6	Well, I didn't fall into it immediately when I was younger.
0:43.2	My mother actually recommended it because I really enjoyed math, but at the time I didn't
