Add non-conventional career paths

[husyn]

Problem

Atypical career paths in Software Engineering / Development are not mentioned in the current list.

Solution

To add career paths like Scrum Master, Product Owner, Project Manager, Delivery Lead, Engineering Manager, Automation tester, Quality Analyst, Systems Analyst, Designer, Artist, etc.

Alternative

• Combine the above mentioned paths in some logical way to reduce the cardinality of career paths
• Have a defined boundaries of these paths and add mention these all in the career path with relevant differentiating content

Context

Software development is not about writing code. It has lot of other areas like Human Computer Interaction (HCI), User Experience (UX), Interface designing (UI), and plethora of areas related to processes.

Pretty cool! We actually decided to move stuff like this into the learning-resources/misc file location. It currently has headings for Mathematics and Data Structures which don't really fit in the place like career-paths. I personally am still a student and don't have a complete idea and list of all the things you have mentioned, but would love to see your PR in the learning-resources/misc folder. Or do you recommend we place this somewhere else?

Mathematics and Data Structures are not really careers and yes should be part of learning-resources. These are the foundational concepts or topics which is required by a large number of computing related careers.

The things I've mentioned are clearly not topics or concepts but the career path themselves. You can have a career in Software development management which leads to Scrum Master -> Delivery Lead -> Engineering Manager -> CTO. Or similar path in Quality Assurance which is QA -> Sr QA -> Lead QA -> QA Manager. These non-programmer career paths should be defined and documented on their own IMHO.
