Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

  • I’m 60. I’m not sure I could get another job using my own advice either.

    I am working with several people trying to break into my field and it’s almost impossible. Mostly because it’s a bit of niche field, and almost everyone in it has decades of experience.

    It’s considered a second entry profession so most people did something else first. There are now diplomas and certifications for young people interested in the field. As a profession we talk about how to ladder younger people in, but struggle with what entry level looks like. A few years work experience and a professional certification just doesn’t stack up in an interview against a few decades of experience.

    The video I linked I shows the Intree robot running at 10 m/s…that’s a sub 3 minute mile. Anything so janky that there is a stretcher sitting by the starting line is either staged or generated. No company that is serious about the field is going to show themselves as being slthat far behind their competitors.
