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?  At some point, I will write a useful hands on help aid for the public. Your questions serve to bring out my experience 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  In our City, Chicago, we are attempting to bring total awareness of our city-wide rat problem. This is a challenge because the city government does not want to disclose real reasons for a burgeoning population of rats.
