You can never tell what may come into your future. Over your work lifetime, 40 + years or so, tremendous changes will occur. Here is my example. Graduated with a BS in Chemistry. Immediately started work at a major US chemical company and worked there for almost 10 years. Decided I didn't want to die in my white lab coat. Saw an ad for a large insurance company wanting a chemist. WHAT? They hired me to look at chemical claims and also visit insured chemical plants. After 4 years decided I had travelled too much with a young family. Went to night school and got an AA in Occupational Health, got hired to run the environmental division of another large Insurance company. Moved to Atlanta from Philadelphia and got a certificate in Pollution Control management which led to claims investigation of pollution damage. Transitioned into Pollution Risk Management and then went back to night school and received 2 more AA's, "Risk Management" and "Loss Control Management". For the last 13 years of employment, under the "Red" umbrella, I was one of the 3 Construction Engineering Risk Management personnel in GA servicing large construction accounts but was called upon to still do some chemical investigations. So, as you can see, You can never be sure exactly where things may lead you. Have been retired for 13 years BUT still keep busy with my small Handyman Business. Keeps me out of trouble and able to afford "toys". Keep the faith, learn all you can and you will be successful. Good Luck!
