Sounds like a good start on a great career.., Morgan!! .... academic and sports!! GO Huskies!
Education is important and I'm impressed with Morgan. On the flip side of the coin, my math degree culminating with 2 semesters of differential equations was about a 98% waste of time of effort. So, there's also something to be said for "live for today". (Not advice I would ever give to my kids, but here on the BY, well...)

My first degree, the one I got from UConn, was also in Math. I also left those studies behind. I’ve subsequently worked with numbers and statistics but, as I replied when someone asked when I was a math major why I did not trade my slide rule in for a calculator:
“Why should I? I never work with numbers.”

About four semesters of my math degree were incredibly useful. A lot of the rest of it was fun, if not all that useful. DiffEqs, though, was a total waste of time; we learned nothing useful plus it was no fun.

Me too. US History degree that took me 11 years (active duty). Probably worth 0.00 cents in my post military life.

Me three. My BS degree in History/Sociology has not been worth much in my work career. But the Navy did pay quite a bit of it. And my Navy experience/job is what got me jobs post military.

Exactly. Marketable skills learned in the military are what got me jobs after I retired from the Navy. To many kids today go deep in debt to pay for an education for which there is no demand.

I still use math every day. Algebra and trig for the most part. Calculus was useful for understanding the theory, but in engineering you quickly find out that simplification, done properly, is what makes for a successful design and project for 90% or more of the work needed.
I'm of the opinion that top flight project management is incredibly valuable in any industry. Being able to come in on time and within budget by recognizing all risks and planning for them and thereby mitigating them if they occur is not unlike coaching a UConn's women's basketball team.
