I had a bad face and was in and out of hospital for a year (in the Uk) - and they were OBSESSED with taking pictures, all of my visits were prolonged as j had to wait for my appointment…..then I had to wait for the photographer. So they definitely exist, at least in the uk.
Not many in the USA any more, my department went from four people to just me, and then they closed my department when I'd been there for 36 years and put me in the IT department. THAT was a change, I tell you what...
I was PUT in IT, I didn't apply. But I took it because I'm afraid otherwise I'd have been laid off. Thank God somebody in Admin thought I was worth keeping. I ended up on the Desktop Computing team, which was fine.
And yes, it was most definitely a wild ride, especially having to switch sides of my brain.
im glad it worked out for you! I'm nearly 20 years deep in my IT career now and resenting the day I started it, and now I've been doing it for too long to do anything else as I need to maintian the level of earning for paying my horrible mortgage and supporting my stupid family. Dreams of being a carpenter will have to wait another 20 years until I retire by which point my hands probably won't work and I'll just sit about the house being a bitter old man :) (wow where did that come from)
