That's really cool! I like how you phrased it, like falling into a backup career in chemistry is no big deal. Lol. I hear you - my degree was in journalism, and I thank God most days that I never pursued that awful career path.I was a semi-professional reptile breeder in my early 20's. Had success with breeding, but the reptile pet trade was overcrowded at the time and it didn't make for much success as a business. It's what got me into wildlife biology & ecology a led to my degree in that. The original plan was to be a herpetologist but I fell into chemistry when I needed a job, liked it and just stuck with that.
