What I would do if money were no object.

If money were no object my career choice would not change. I would still want to be a pharmaceutical researcher and developer. I would still want this because I enjoy doing the research aspect and would like to help people by developing prescription drugs or even some type of vaccine for diseases. To me research on the microbiological level is fun and what I want to spend my life doing. I would like to join the Marine Corps first though. I would like to do this because with a military background I could get contracted by the government or hired by a company that's contracted by the government for a biology job. I would like to work for the government because I could then work in a BSL-3 or BSL-4 lab. Labs at these levels really help society because in theses labs highly infectious and lethal diseases are researched and have cures made. This would help society very much.

My Favorite Hobby

My favorite hobby is metal detecting.I enjoy metal detecting because every time I dig a hit I have a little moment of excitement about what it could possibly be. It could be anything from a ring to a pocket watch or something as simple as a rail spike. Some things that I have found while metal detecting, that have a value, are a white gold ring, an old pocket watch, a screwdriver from the early to mid 1900's, and a 1950's Derringer cap gun. The screw driver I found comes apart and inside of the main screw driver is a smaller screwdriver and inside that screwdriver is another smaller one, this goes on for three more screwdrivers. Some items that are typical to find while metal detecting are invaluable things such as pennies, nickels, aluminum cans, beer bottle caps, gum wrappers, nails, scrap metal, and rail spikes. I typically only find rail spikes when I'm at a park near a rail road. To me metal detecting is a hobby and that is all it will ever be. Some people metal detect for a living. The people who do this for a living take it very seriously and will get into fights over little five foot by five foot squares of beach. To me metal detecting will always just be something fun to do every now and than, never a full time forty to sixty hour a week job.
