What inspired me to attend the City College of New York was that it was inexpensive and I was able to attend evening classes while working full-time. I spent eleven years in night school, interrupted only with a military active duty period. I met my wife there; she was a day student, and I was taking evening classes. She graduated before I did. At that point, I was in a senior engineering position when I graduated. The big change came when I went to work for a predecessor bank of JP Morgan. My CCNY degree enabled me to get the job. When I retired from the bank, I was vice president of voice planning and engineering.
