Boy
,
what
can
you
do
for
us
?

I
had
arrived
in
a
place
where
my
academic
credentials
meant
nothing
.
I
became
a
traveler
in
a
____________________
land
who
had
to
find
a
way
to
come
up
with
the
local
____________________

fast
!
?
Although
I
had
achieved
my
childhood
dream
of
being
an
Imagineer
,
I
had
gone
from
being
the
top
dog
in
my
____________________
research
lab
to
an
odd
duck
in
a
rough
-
and
-
tumble
pond
.
I
had
to
figure
out
how
my
wonky
ways
could
fit
in
this
make
-
or
-
break
____________________
culture
.
I
worked
on
the
Aladdin
virtual
reality
____________________
then
being
tested
at
Epcot
.
I
joined
Imagineers
interviewing
guests
about
how
they
liked
the
ride
.
Did
they
get
dizzy
,
disoriented
,

Some
of
my
new
____________________
complained
that
I
was
applying
academic
values
that
wouldn't
work
in
the
real
world
.
They
said
I
was
too
focused
on
poring
over
data
,
too
insistent
on
approaching
things
____________________
rather
than
emotionally

As
it
turned
out
,
at
the
end
of
my
____________________
,
Imagineering
offered
me
a
full

time
job
.
After
much
agonizing
,
I
turned
it
down
.
The
call
of
teaching
was
too
strong
.
But
because
I'd
figured
out
how
to
____________________
in
both
academia
and
the
entertainment
industry
,
Disney
found
a
way
to
keep
me
involved
.
I
became
a

a

____________________
to
Imagineering
,
which
I
did
happily
for
ten
years
.
If
