Started by career in forensic engineering. We had civil/structural, mechanicals,

and electrical engineers. Our mechanical guys would do accident reconstruction for the insurance companies and were probably was on the other end of tjngirlz's accidents. Growing field and lucrative if you work for lawyers or insurance companies. But then you have to work with lawyers and insurance companies.
