After finding out that jobs in this field would barely allow one to subsist while paying back student loans, there was a renewed interest in the semiconductor and the petroleum industries!!! Two of my classmates found summer internships at a Tosco (the oil company, not the guys who merged with Price Club) refinery in Martinez. Poor old Pete (last name withheld) commented that while he liked the job, he was concerned that it was not exactly Environmentally Correct to work there, lamenting that "this isn't very Green". Whereas good old Fred the Dog (whose past careers included fast food and driving cabs) responded pragmatically "Money's green, ain't it???" Stan Rothwell
