   In those days, I had no idea that one could become a 'physicist'.   
   There were no engineers or academics in my environment, or my   
   choices might have been quite different. I discovered the very   
   existence of labs dedicated to physics research when I was 19   
   years old, quite accidentally as a side effect of my negligence   
   to secure a local position as a technical student. It turned out   
   to be a lucky strike. :-)
