Chemical Engineering. Graduating from UB in May. Not sure where I’m going after that. I didn’t apply to grad schools, and I’m kicking myself in the ass for that. ---

I wished we could see more projects like that one get off the ground. It took three years to build the Project and was paid for in 10 years…on bonds. Man it would be nice to be able to do that again. ☹ ---

Oh man, thanks for letting me know. I was going to head down in august and check it out, but maybe I’ll invest that time in the Colorado school. What do you do now btw? ---

> [@khoveraki](#): > > He’s right, but I think it needs to be said that he’s not arguing against the level of schooling in NYS. We have one of the highest levels of education. But as far as engineering for the production and application of alternative fuels, we’ve got zilch. I’d like to get on mazda’s Hyodrogen Rotary team, but that’s just a pipedream. A lot of people might say to go to Hawaii, 1/3 of their power is from windmills, but I’m severely uninterested in windmills. ;D There may be better schools for this. I’d probably stick with UB ChemE, get good grades, do some undergrad research and a REU, and get look in to PhD programs in that segment. Maybe minor in chemistry. UB ChemE is a very strong department. ---

UB ChemE is a very strong department. Yeah my goal was at first to transfer to UB and finish my bachelor’s there, but I just can’t put up with being in Buffalo any more. If I don’t leave soon I’m afraid it’ll take me years to leave. > [@blackout"](#): > > I know what you’re saying but Hillary is still in the executive office.
