I did not get the chance to do the Europe part until after college and even then I did not do the working route like I described. As for the comment about the choice between Euro and Asian rail. I must admit as being an American, I had to write this from that point of view. The average American kid has barely seen very much of our own country, so taking off the training wheels and doing a European trip is a big step. That same trip in Asia may be too much to ask of us silly Yanks. Baby Steps. I just hope that I have the wisdom to give my own children this sense of adventure. I also hope that I have the wisdom to enable it to happen when the time comes. Haitham, It is only a partial autobiography.

I'd only change "Europe by rail" to "Asia by any means" - your money will last far longer and you will be motivated to work hard by seeing how hard some people out there work just to survive. After all, survival is the ultimate in job satisfaction :) I guess that your final paragraph in some way describes your route into the field and it’s one I would recommend!
