It only took me an hour-and-a-half to get to and from Tech from Staten Island, where new discoveries awaited. I still use my mechanical and freehand drawing skills, avoid harming myself or the product doing woodwork or metalwork, and even understand a lot more about how all those dam’ smartphones and iPads are made. English, German, History, Industrial Processes all helped me, believe it or not, through work with the Army Security Agency, manufacturing industrial monitors in Boston, biomedical research, classified Department of Defense work, and building satellites for NASA in Greenbelt, MD. What a fascinating path built on such a broad and deep foundation.
