Retired now, but previously a scientific/technical/medical photographer for 40 years, generally in universities and hospitals in London and Sydney. My maths was never good enough for a science (or astronomy!) career but the 'S&T' photography qualification allowed me to at least work in the scientific and medical teaching/research environment.
Haven't attended the 'school of hard knocks', but did quite a bit of 'temp' work years ago in factories, offices and building sites, which gave me some appreciation for how tough, boring and unappreciated some jobs can be.
Retirement is wonderful, I highly recommend it! The only trouble is ... there just ain't enough hours in the day.
