Student

You come from an academic background, and are a graduate from college or university. As such you hold a qualification (the equivalent of a degree or higher) in a specific subject, and are generally considered an expert in that topic.

What is your area of expertise? What was the learning institution like? Is that subject still your passion, or was your education more the choice of somebody else?
