Good one, s_k!
But seriously, being sick during one's holiday is an awful disappointment, especially when one normally has to spend a lot of time at work.

I'm sure you'll find a niche somewhere, Tore, but it does seem odd when one's field of study leads to an area I would never have predicted for you: from mites to roads!
I remember in high school government class, our teacher said something like, "The average person has 20 different jobs in her/his life" or something like that. I was surprised, so his statement stuck with me. I was used to my parents' path: they studied something, became professors, and then that was it.
However, looking at my own life and my friends' lives, I've concluded that if you aren't a teacher then your career path can go all over. You'll be standing, doing something at work one day, and stop and think, "How the hell did I get here??"
Working for the government would probably be a very safe job, Tore, and since it isn't a private company they probably actually CARE what the ecological consequences of building roads are. I hope the job comes through for you!
