Jimmy will pursue a PhD in biomedical engineering, unfortunately they do not offer professional degrees in memeing. He will pursue a career either as a researcher at a private research institute or as a professor in biomedical engineering at a University. Jimmy has always found leadership to be one of his biggest strengths, and it will allow him to better connect with the people he’s working with down the line, especially in STEM.
