Richard Klein’s Summary
I'd like to stay at Hologic for a long, long time and help people fight cancer. I'd like to complete my BS, probably in Mechanical Engineering, but Electrical Engineering and Computer Science also interest me. I'd like to build myself a machine shop, and maybe turn that into a business some day.
