      No way, it was the best thing. Being an engineer has allowed me to travel the world, to the farthest reaches of eastern Russia, to the middle east, South Korea….of the coast of northern Australia….

      I’ve seen how underground tunnels (like the tube tunnels in London) get made. I’ve flown in helicopters all over the world just to get to work.

      I now work at one of the worlds busiest airports. When I have some free time at work, I sit back and watch all the huge planes go by my window.
