Ep. 102, Don’t Overthink Your Career

Episode #102 of Underserved features Jim Scholhamer. Jim had an early fascination with geology, history, and archaeology. Dad encouraged him to take up engineering, where he eventually fell into materials science. This field could mean something as boring as bumper plastics or as exciting as space telescopes. Jim forged an exciting and adventurous path, including time as an expat in Germany. Once back in the US, he worked his way into the famously insular semiconductor industry, where he now leads a billion-dollar company through its latest challenges.   Links: https://uct.com/home/default.aspx https://www.appliedmaterials.com/ https://mse.engin.umich.edu/ https://mse.engin.umich.edu/undergraduate/facilities/vvul  (Specifically Van Vlack Undergrad Lab) Chip Wars (the book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law There’s No Upside to Being a Jerk at Work https://www.colorado.com/  5 Signs You’re Overthinking Your Career Decisions www.harriethartley.org
