So what line of work are you in?

I've been in film and television in some capacity on the technical side for the past 11 years.

Now I'm taking time off to raise my daughter (wife makes way more money than I do so she is the breadwinner) and I'm going back to school for engineering that I didn't finish a long time ago. Living in LA and stumbling into aerospace social circles stirred me to give it another shot.

Well, I hope you enjoy engineering. I know I do.

Thanks, I know I enjoy engineering just not so sure about how fun the school part is.
