A career is something apart from a job... Working at 7-11 or Von's to get a few bucks to pay the rent is a 'job'... what we do for a living, transcends employers, and follows us every where we go. I have helped design products that exist all over the world doing their jobs, day in day out, and they help create infrastructure or protect men's lives. Folks who work in the medical field for example depend on reliable products that have all been designed by PCB designers to work, no matter what, under very severe environments. The Astronauts lives depend on the systems we helped to create... this is not a trivial matter. Our Military and others depend on the products we design, with their lives.
