Interesting observations ferret. I liked math and science in high school, studied engineering in college and went on to work in the telecom industry. After five years time, I left the cushy engineering job due to a lack of interest so that I could pursue other things in life. Despite the technical comprehension that I exhibited early on, I had also always been fairly artistic. This lead to my serving as a graphic designer before finally bouncing back and forth between a number of marketing and IT roles for a variety of high tech companies.[url=http://www.bopsicle.com] I still like to dabble in design now and then when the opportunity presents itself. In general, neither the left nor the right side of my brain is dominate. Sadly, this has often resulted in my growing bored with most pursuits after a short period of time. While I'm creative, I've definitely never been extroverted, lol.
When I was in high school, we were given the option of participating in either the industrial arts ("shop") or college prep courses. I saw college as my way out of the small rural town where I grew up so my path was set at that point. I can still remember having to walk through a portion the shop where guys were learning to tear apart and repair small internal combustion engines in order to get to one of my math classes back then. Honestly, I would have much preferred to be tearing apart engines back then. I sometimes think that I've been spending the last three decades of my life making up for that. I'm certainly not the best home mechanic out there, but I do enjoy it and get a great deal of satisfaction from turning my own wrenches under the right circumstances.
