What do you like about this subject?

Questions help me to organize my approaches to problem solving.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Being problem solvers takes us beyond the rest of our industry that has emphasis on maintenance and pest management.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject
