Why did you choose your profession? OR did it choose you and if so ...how?

Honestly, I got a degree in engineering because I wanted money (sad but true) ~ my family was very poor growing up and I didn't want to have to wonder where my next meal came from. Marketing chose me ~ I like business and I like the creative process....but more than anything I like people and helping people. The marketing career developed over time, after I graduated ~ progressively in the past 7 years.

How about you?

I actually have a BFA degree and intended to go into art as my career ... but ... then I met my wife and when we decided to marry, money became much more of an issue. I then started with the company that became my career, and after a year in duplicating, moved into what was then called data processing. Spent 12 years at one location and 24 at another before retiring 3-years ago this coming August 1.
