This came across one of my many feeds today ... in this case FaceBook. William Shatner wants your story on if (and how) watching Star Trek may have affected your career decisions in later life.
To quote:
""Friends,
I’m looking for true stories on how watching Star Trek (any series) affected your career decisions later in life. Did you go into a career in Science or Aviation or even become an Astronaut due to Star Trek and Science Fiction?
I want to hear your story. Please send me an email of your story on what about Star Trek made you choose your career path. Send a email with your story in the body of the email to: ShatnerScifi@gmail.com
My best, Bill""
**Quotation marks mine**
Although growing up with Star Trek in my youth, opportunities never arose for me in any field of study connected in some form with Star Trek. How-ever, if one of Lotus Fleet's members has a story to submit, please do so. I am sure Bill would love to read it.
