Why E.E?

     When asked why Electrical Engineering, I always have a different answer because there are many reasons.  Since I was a kid, my parents provided me with all sorts of toys that involved problem solving and building techniques.  These days were the foundation to my love for engineering.  Then as I traveled further into my studies in high school, I focused on math and science.  If there was one thing I could change about my school experiences, it would be starting higher level maths and sciences earlier, but that is beside the point.  In my senior year I took A.P. Physics.  By this time in my life, I knew I wanted to study engineering in college; the question was, "what kind of engineering." I found the answer during the last month of my physics class. For this month, we studied and worked with Lego Robotics kits.  This required programming and the basic knowledge leading into electrical engineering.  Therefore I chose E.E. as my major and have enjoyed it's challenges sense.
     As I reach my last year of college, I have a want for more knowledge. I would like to travel out west to a respected college and pursue my graduate degree (possibly in micro-electronics). After obtaining this degree I will have more of an idea as to what I would like to do after Grad school. After graduating with a Masters, I expect to get a job paying in the 65K and up range.
