    It's extremely rare to find an accurate & relatively thorough step by step explanation of the process of blowing glass & the tools involved. ( I've got 10 years experience blowing glass)

      @@hayleyvaneykeren5875 Well one of my friends does this for a living and I was a biochem major at one point during university. If you want to become one you have 2 realistic pathways. the first pathway requires you to find an academic institution with glass blowing as a program the second path is one of apprenticeship. Jobwise universities generally offer better benefits and corporations better pay, however, note that glassblowing isn't really lung friendly (if you aren't careful you can feel the detrimental effects as early as your 50's to 60's). Note that salary for these jobs are rather under-reported similar to a SE because your salary isn't equal to your total compensation in most cases (they probably have a teamblind for craftsmen)

A lot of the chem courses leading up to or even the higher level chemistry can be self-taught.

      while it is true that the final product has a high decomposition time, it doesn't really have the same impact on the environment as plastic in this process, it doesn't float in the ocean, the risk of animals ingesting it is close to zero, it doesn't create traps or areas that would occult sunlight, or air, clog pipes etc
      most importantly the production process doesn't require huge, energy intensive machines that emit gas and polluting vapors.
      Also the base material is literally sand, not petrochemicals etc
      that require even more industrial work upstream
