How can the topic of the Sun have anything to do with someone's career? Well, you might not think it but the Sun affects our daily lives in many ways. Sunspots cause radio wave transmission disruptions that affect pilots and radio technicians among others. Doctors are dealing with an every increasing number of Sun related illnesses and diseases like skin cancer and dehydration. And engineers in many different fields must consider the Sun and its effects as they do their work.

The list could go on and on. We have chosen a few careers to highlight and tell you how the Sun effects them. You might be as surprised as we were with some of our findings.
