I was so fortunate growing up. After graduating first in my class in HS, I got a National Merit Scholarship for college. I selected one of the best engineering schools in the nation, and did well there. Five years after getting out of college, I got out of graduate school, with a MS in engineering. Then I found out what I wanted to do. I worked in the oil/gas industry, and did rather well. I liked my work, and my employers liked the work I was doing. Now I am part of the NeoThink Society.
