I figure if I ever loose my medical, I'll go dig tunnels, highways, airports, or whatever. I'm thinking either focusing on either structural, or transportation engineering.
Hopefully people are paying closer attention to themselves. People should realize if they are having any problems and deal with them before the medical; if it is something that can be corrected.
