I actually *have* a Biology major and went to vet school for two years. I really love biology and the medical sciences and was one of those deviant kids that even found organic chemistry fun and breezed through it. Straight A's in honors chemistry, not a problem. I got early admission to vet school and learned what hard work and constant studying *really* was like. What I found though is that I really don't like jobs where I am constantly dirty, smelly, getting kicked, stepped on, bitten, scratched, or basically just in fear for my life. I did some high school teaching for awhile, and worked for a number of years as a lab tech, but it didn't take me long to switch to computers. My Dad worked for the Defense department, and I grew up around computers and was programming my calculators in Basic as long as I could remember. Of course, I was doing stuff like the equations for doing cell splits and plating cell cultures, etc. but enough to know it was something I was good at and enjoyed doing. Wasn't much of a jump to go from that into computer science, and the rest is history! ;-) --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259576 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
