Evening J_P: you asked "what was my first job after graduating from 'pre med'"
**********
I 'never' graduated, Tests showed that I was not psychologically suited to be a general practicioner, it would be too boring and routine. It was suggested that I change to theoretical Physics, however, I was accepted into the new USAF flight training as a Pilot and officer first, soooo.

From there I went on and lived with The Yaqui Indians in Sonora Mexico for 5 years learning their culture, history, and roaming through their lands looking for lost mines and treasures . In the process I discovered that the Mexican Gov't was trying to displace them from more of their land. I found an old military map of the Yaqui lands drawn up for a general from the Yaqui wars of 1906, which clearly showed just how much land had been literally stolen from then. The gov't compromised and installed an irrigation system for them since it would have meant giving them 1/2 of the present Obregon. They gave me the Bible written in Yaqui as a token of friendship, I still have it.

Shall I go on? Living 'off' of the Yucatan jungle looking for lost Mayan ruins for 6 months, part of the time with the Lacadon Indians / Mayas. My friend and I carried #65 back packs, full sized Machetes, and .22 pistols for small game and extremely marginal protection.

More ? That was when I beat the Mexican National Pistol champion.

Sigh. the picture of a perfect bum and escapist.
