Everybody's a critic.
I was more concerned with your merging of science and engineering. Those two fields are quite disparate, but many people confuse one with the other.
Thanks Dan. Ray, yes alchemy indeed!

I once met an airline pilot who when asked what he did for a living always replied "I'm a bus driver".
Well at least you should be able to buy all your cameras duty free!

No, no, no, wait a minute. I picked up photography at 14, way before I settled on a career. 😀
Also I actually like the bunching together of science and engineering; otherwise I would have had a hard time deciding, being a physicist but always working in engineering jobs ...

I ticked Photography, BSc Photosciences and then ten years or so working for various UK professional suppliers but got out of the industry just as digital was becoming a reality for press and pack shots.
Since then various AV and room control / BMS jobs, system design, install and programming using Crestron and AMX systems.

Just to introduce a little levity into the thread, this one is for all you managers or Herberts.

Well I guess most of us fit in there somewhere.

I've already listed my career, but have been interested in the comments re lack of dentists and the observation of their use of cameras.
My husband died at the end of last year and I have thrown out so many photos of "teeth"!
I do have a Polaroid Macro 5 SLR and a Pentax SFXN with a macro and dental close up system.
Any ideas of what I might do with them would be appreciated.

This list is serious and there are stories about how one rolled into the next. Starting with nothing more than high school and getting back to University as time went on (twice)...
These days Im sick of the corporate world and always looking for something new :bang:

I've been married five times. Does that count as a career? Maybe it's just a hobby. The present one is a keeper though, the one I should have had in the beginning.
My most interesting job was raising funds for the F.M.L.N. in El Salvidor with C.I.S.PE.S. in the heart of frisco's Mission District. We were raising money for arming the repels, the CIA was funding the government's suppression of the people (and death squads). There were government spies all over our building and across the street. We used to wave at them and talk story when we'd run into them at the donut store in the mornings. Our side actually won that one, and there was a peace deal worked out with the help of Jimmy Carter. It gave me a different perspective of left wing causes, California style. 99.9% of the people I worked with were wanna be liberals, and then there was me, the older Southerner from Mississippi. Turned out that I was a lot more liberal than anyone there, they were all about catch phrases and political correctness. Grrrr.
