Also because the network engineering field is so demanding, and requires constant relearning you tend to have a relatively high burn rate.Jesse Krembshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815190634358984340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593236318942925750.post-61233674832654637272008-03-12T21:01:00.000-07:002008-03-12T21:01:00.000-07:00Hi Ed. Your mention of the Glenn T. Seaborg award ...Hi Ed. Your mention of the Glenn T. Seaborg award evoked a memory for me. As a lad of eight years of age in 1960 I was enthused about space travel, atomic energy and other space-age thoughts. I had written a letter to the Atomic Energy Commission attaching a crude drawing of my concept of a light weight atomic powered ray gun. Imagine my surprise when I received a few weeks later a box (not an envelope with a hand typed letter signed by Mr. Seaborg. He thanked me for my enthusiasm of things atomic and critically reviewed my design. I recall that he noted it was a “good” design in concept, yet it would prove to be unwieldy due to the required weight of lead shielding required to keep the ray gun user from becoming slowly fried. As I removed the contents of the box, I found that it was filled with a wide assortment of brochures, white papers, conference briefs and a myriad of articles on domestic atomic energy topics. I read every item. I cannot say that I pursued a career in atomic energy, nor did I ever have the opportunity to leave this earth (yet!) in space travel. But I do leave the ground for considerable travels on behalf of Save the Children.<BR/><BR/>One never knows where a bit of time and a personal communication might stir a young person to a future career...David Isaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463380683998855025noreply@blogger.com
