So 24 years ago today (!!!) a young Sean had decided between two temp jobs: one at an tech-heavy outgrowth of AT&T, where they were looking for someone with an engineering background to help support their work. And the other was doing CAD drafting for a company that would give me the chance to grow into using my actual Civil Engineering degree. I think money was similar, but I really did like the interview that I had with the engineering firm. Of the four folks I talked two, at least half had been at the company, left, and then came back. That said two things to me: a) they knew for a fact that the grass wasn't greener, and b) the company welcomed them back. That seemed like the type of place I would be able to thrive.
Thanks to the folks at the Atlanta office of Brown and Caldwell -> it's been a great double dozen of years, with a lot of good people doing good work for the environment and the world.
