Field Trip 1

Growing up, Daniel didn't want to follow his father's steps and become a doctor. Although he was good at science, he personally didn't enjoy it. So when he left for college, he looked for majors that involved math and found computer science. After studying it, he eventually found jobs in Shanghai and became a product manager and data analyst at Jingdong, a Chinese e-commerce company. After working there for five years, he started considering his future plans.

As I interviewed him, I discovered that he wants to pursue a master in computer science and eventually build his own medical business. He regrets not pursuing a medical career because he remembers what his father did and also wants to help people. However, even though he is not a doctor, he has managed to find his own way to help people manage their health. When he was little, his father would work very hard to try to accommodate as many patients as possible in a day and patients would travel long distances to get medical care. With that in mind, he understands the limitations of a doctor and wishes to incorporate his own skills as a data analyst to create a technology that involves big data and sensors, like Fitbit, to help manage peoples health. By becoming a data scientist, he is able to come up with a more modern and efficient way to keep people healthy. He is able to achieve his own happiness, by striving to use his own skills to help others.
