CollapseDescription

I'm a strange duck. After schooling in biological science, and 3 years working in that field, I was invited to work for Boeing on NASA's Space Station. What do you do after a career trajectory like that? My answer was to try my hand at being an inventor/entrepreneur. Very difficult, especially marketing. But I really enjoyed developing the product and would like to find a position doing that again. I'd like to develop new products for pets and wildlife interaction--see your local department store's garden section for examples of such products.
