Glenn’s Answer

I always had an interest in international culture. With my jobs I have had a chance to travel the world for work. I find this more interesting in a lot of ways than traveling for vacation. I have a chance to develop friendships with the locals, see what there work life is like, and understand there point of view. With vacation travel, you do get to see more of the sights, but it is hard to make any real connections.

Jordan’s Answer

The biggest contribution is working in fields that make a major impact to society. I have developed electric motor vehicles that limit harmful pollutants to our World; I have developed high HP motor systems for oil and gas industry; I have delivered racks full of servers to allow businesses to excel in this digital world... These successes have brought great impact to my life and allowed me to meet many intelligent and interesting people along the way. Without my Mech Eng degree, my impact on today's society (and my children's future) wouldn't be felt as much.
