Top 10 Reasons for working in corrosion monitoring

  1. ... there had to be a better way than "always fixing things" and "band-aid solutions";

  2. ... they promised you riches, fame and exotic locations but ... (see 3);

  3. ... they were only kidding (see 2);

  4. ... you are from the "don't tell me, show me" part of the country;

  5. ... the broader field of corrosion was getting pretty crowded (with people swanning around in white lab coats);

  6. ... you felt the music when others only detected noise;

  7. ... somehow, you were never the kind of guy featured in the titanium shaver ad (or tipped to be the next Bond);

  8. ... making the "hardest sell" in the corrosion business has its secret rewards;

  9. ... the words "funky", "chic", "hot", "sexy", "trendy", "glam", "cool", "hip", "renaissance man" or "edgy" can definitely not be applied to corrosion monitoring;

  10. ... nobody told you not to.
