Do/did you feel your work is meaningful?

Yes. It was very meaningful. My first job was working and and helping design the first CT and MRI scanners. I learned so much. I then got my degree and helped design the 486 processor with tools allowing trouble shooting before the chip was made. I worked on the first internet, designed the first IT remote management tools, and even worked with Microsoft to design some standards. Even have a few patents. It's fun to see the work I did in today's computers and how far capabilities have come. I now do volunteer work for a historic church repairing things. Very community minded and rewarding.
