- Abstract: Please join us for a conversation on "Careers for Physicists" with Scott Converse. Scott got his undergraduate degree in physics from UW-Eau Claire and had originally planned on either teaching high-school physics, or going on to do graduate work that would prepare him for a career in astrophysics. Quickly that plan changed and he ended up working in software development, IT management, project management, business management, and eventually teaching adult professionals. Scott received his MBA from UW-Madison is currently the director of project management and process improvement programs for the Wisconsin School of Business. He also oversees the Technical Leadership, a joint effort between the College of Engineering and Wisconsin School of Business that was created to help the technical professional successfully transition into a successful manager.
