Electrical Engineer
You were the kid who hooked up the car battery to your remote controlled car.�
You are also the person who designed a special sized electric chair for
cockroaches.� Wiring up a circuit is something that you could do almost from
birth and any wiring you have ever tried has been an easy task.� Currently, you
are searching for a challenging task that will use your skills to the most of
their ability. �A recent interest in computer technology has you developing
chips that work faster than anything we expected to see for another 15 years.
