I started out by earning a B.S. in Medical Technology. What's that? All the blood tests you have ever had done are performed by Med Techs. Lots of diagnoses are determined that way. I specialized in clinical chemistry for eight years and loved it. Other areas of the clinical lab that I worked are hematology, microbiology, immunohematology, serology and histology. The pay wasn't all that great and I had kids to send to college so I went back to school, this time for a Chemical Engineering degree. I worked for Kimberly-Clark Corporation (Kleenex, Huggies, Kotex brands and others) and worked at the corporate staff level in environmental science and energy affairs. I left the company in November of last year....but I still work as a Senior Consultant for a global engineering firm...from home mostly....but I have an office in Bradenton, FL which I somtimes feel inclined to visit now and then. What else? Heck, my wife and I make the best ice cream in town....well Patty does it all really. I'm responsible for "building engineering" as Patty likes to call it (read-maintenance). Bruster's in Mulberry Grove. Visit us and say hi!
