Have you been able to incorporate your previous experience in [jobs/education] in your writing?
Absolutely. I worked as an Optometrist, an Astronomer and an experimental physicist. I have several ideas for Sci-Fi stories that lean on my experience as a research scientist. But it was when I was working with people on a daily basis as an Optician that I really learned the important parts of what it takes to write a novel. Many extraordinary characters I met in the testing room have worked their way into my stories!
