After becoming disillusioned as an analytic chemist, I put my chemistry knowledge to use in two distinctly different fields.
On one track I became a professional baker.
.
On the other I became a professional photographer.
In Europe where I studied, both fields are deeply respected, even Romantic. Back home in the US of A, both skills became trivial, reduced to Instagram antics.
Chemistry is about fundamental changes. And no one here fundamentally wants change.
