Ask YC: What is your background?

Is your B.S./M.S./PhD in C.S. or Software Eng.? Or did you come from a different area? Which one? What brought you in to the Hacking world?

I would guess quantitative fields, like Physics or Math would be the most common, but I'm sure there are some bio people out there too.

I'm a Physicist by training with a bit of formal CS background and I've been debating whether I should try to transition in to the corporate/entrepreneurial world or not. How easy was it in your case?
