My interests led me to be a Silicon Valley engineer, a mergers and acquisition consultant in downtown Los Angeles, a venture capitalist in Santa Barbara (funded by several, very large, international companies), and chief technology officer for a small tech company in the Bay Area that uses my patents in fluid mechanics.  My current work is writing C# code to investigate stochastic domain interfaces with possible applications in social as well as hard sciences.  

Due to my many years as a wide-ranging business consultant, there is hardly an industry that I haven't worked in in some capacity (eg, semiconductors, entertainment, oil and gas, solar energy, energy storage, electricity distribution, electronics, software, farming, ranching, transportation, insurance, real estate, retail, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, litigation, aerospace, defense, law enforcement, telecommunication, agriculture, food processing, biotech, finance, government).  I have worked across the country and internationally.  

In sum, wouldn't you want to have someone with such a diverse and robust business background work for you?
