"Curious: were you born in China and still eligible for the lottery?" I was born in Western Europe. I am not Assian. "I thought Nanotech was a much coveted field to be in" Me too, but as mentioned before, Ideas are like hemorrhoids. This was mine. Not sure why. Wrong time. Wrong coast. Bad luck. I had an interview at Agilent. They had 500 applicants. You needed to have a PhD or MBA or both. I was among the last three candidates and they congratulated me, "you got the job". Then they axed the job. There was just a curse on me. Really don't want to think back about that time. Started over in China with nothing. Was basically an illegal immigrant there.
