43 years, 41.5 with at least a masters degree in that field.
As a result, I worked with many formulators of cleaning products & things that needed emulsification/stable suspensions. (Film polymer manufacture, crop science & turf health products, shampoos, body wash, toothpaste........)
Lots of surface chemistry too.
Music was a lucrative hobby. But, science provided a lifestyle.
