I would, too. Which is the more exciting job? Unfortunately there probably isn't much call for a trebuchet bombardment these days.

Perhaps this should be decreed in a new Geneva convention as the only allowed long range missile system? That would make wars less deadly and more useful.

Fun fact, only one trebuchet has ever been deployed for combat in the new world.

The conquistadors and coalition forces built one during the siege of Tenochitlan, they tried to fire it but the sling snapped, rock went up, rock came back down.

Thus ended the storied military record of trebuchets in the new world.

Scientist in the UK wear surgical caps and carry stethoscopes? I guess doctors are a subcategory of scientists.

Doesn't becoming a doctor involve researching something new in the field of medicine?
