A brief interview excerpt where Andy Neary and another speaker discuss how a mechanical engineering education influenced a career in insurance. The exchange highlights that engineering training fosters tactical thinking and numerical skills that benefit insurance work.

You said. So you went to college for mechanical engineering.
Right.
Has an engineering background, had a big impact in what you do today from an insurance perspective because of your ability to think very tactically and the numbers that are associated with it.
Strongly agree. And I tell a lot of people that, you know, one of the biggest takeaways that I've got from my degree isn't necessarily the knowledge, like the actual information, but it's more of how to approach a problem and how to think outside the box in order to obtain a solution. That, for me, is the biggest tool that I've been able to use from my college career. Right. From my mechanical engineering degree to my insurance.
