# Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

# Why do we use it?

My first job out of college was in enterprise software sales. One year into my sales career, I realized I didn’t have the passion to thrive in that career path, so I started exploring online courses outside of work and discovered a financial analyst course.

I quickly got hooked and found I had a passion for working with numbers and learning how to analyze large sets of data. At Samsara, I get to do just that. I help capture and report on every dollar earned by Samsara. We help organize those dollars and ask: “Where did they come from? How should we treat them? When can we report them as earned revenue?” Since revenue is impacted by almost everything, I find myself working on lots of projects beyond just working with and analyzing numbers—helping the company in even more ways. After completing that course, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in finance, and I’m proud to say I’ve never looked back.
