Now that I'm almost 18 and I have one more year left of High School, I have to put more thought in to my future occupation and would love some input from people here that work with lasers for a living. I've been leaning towards something in the medical field, but before I take the plunge I would like to consider a job with lasers because I enjoy them so much, and lasers are actually my current source of income (YouTube). I know I have a lot to learn and what we do in hobby lasers is nothing compared to what is done in a professional job, but it would be awesome to be a real expert in the subject. So for people here that work with lasers:
Do you like your job? What exactly do you do?
How much schooling have you had? Do you think it was worth it?
Are you happy with your pay?
I really don't know what to ask because my knowledge of lasers is so little, but if you could fill me in on your job, that would be awesome!
As far as my schooling, I go to a small High School with a limited number of classes (except a wide range of Ag classes ) and no honors classes, but next year I will be taking Physics and Pre-Calculus so I can get a brief intro of what I'll be working with. So far my science and math classes have been very easy to me so I think I can handle these harder classes. As far as testing scores and grades, I got a 33 on my ACT (35 in science), but my grades are A's and B's because I can get lazy in doing homework, especially with sports.
So any info on your job and what for me to expect would be awesome! Thanks in advance for any help.
