"I got my BA degree in December 1994 in History and minored in Classics. I had the most classes with Prof. John Heath (my favorite). As you can see my degree is not related to my career (Senior Licensing Officer - IECO at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Caltech / NASA); however NASA and JPL do use a lot of classical descriptors (Greek and Latin) for our missions, Mercury, Apollo, Artemis, Pandora, and many more. And we use a lot of Latin terminology and phrases."
