CRM Admins from Non-Traditional Backgrounds, What Job Did You Have Before Working in This Industry?

I’m mentoring someone who is coming into this industry from a non-traditional background (medical industry) and I’m looking for examples to share with her of people entering the industry successfully from backgrounds outside of those you’d typically expect.

If you have a non-traditional career path (Something outside of Marketing, Sales, or IT), what job did you have before you landed your first job in this industry?

Thanks!
