2: Engineering returns (to school)

Today's question - Why did you decide to go back to school?

Carl tries not doing an episode preamble before he talks to his friend Jack about his experience with school, what motivated him to go back to school for a non-MBA master's degree, and what, and how that meshed with his life as a working engineer. Also Carl teaches Jack about CRISPR biology and resents having to choose between the engineer and scientist check boxes on a job application, but Jack thinks that might be ok.
