Why did you select your profession?

I interned with IGT [then called GTECH] following my junior year of college and throughout my senior year. I found that it provided me with an opportunity to apply my skills in math and economics in a fast-pace, multifaceted environment. When I was offered a full-time position upon graduation, I jumped at the opportunity.
