Hi,
I think you misread what I was trying to say. I said OP should talk about how their engineering talent can help farmers. As I said before, using one’s talent to help someone, does not require that one like that other person/field.
For example, look at Lemonade (online insurance company). It’s developers had a passion/talent for engineering, AI specifically, and they used that talent to make getting insurance for your house easier.
They had a talent and they used it to help others; I suggesting OP do the same and, in this case, use their talent to help farmers – whom Cornell cares about.
