  Actually no! I thought I would be an engineer (perhaps an electrician) – but not actually building spacecraft bits and running labs. But it is the most fulfilling thing – do discuss and figure out the edge of human knowledge – and to work with researchers and students to push that boundary. Even if only a little bit. Baby steps count.
