motors, engines, machines...Are we talking biology or engineering here?

This is precisely why I pursued a degree in Molecular Biology at UCSD. All the little control systems are not that different from machines or computer software. Which is why I'm a software engineer today. The industry was too immature in 1976. It may be time to switch back to my original career path. Especially with all the IT work being sent to India.

Interesting... I got my undergrad degree in biology, went on to get a masters in population dynamics... and ended up in the corporate world designing databases. Oddly enough, there are more parallels than most would think here too, since its all matrices, projections, and population (humans, now) modeling... with a lot less parameters too. Nice to know there are others with dusty bio degrees that have some twisted connection to our adult professions.
