Middle-class people worry a lot about money. They worry a lot about job security, and they do a lot of nine-to-five stuff.

My undergraduate years at the University of Nebraska were a special time in my life: the combination of partying and intellectual awakening that is what the undergraduate years are supposed to be. I went to the university with the goal of becoming an engineer; I had no concept that one could pursue science as a career.
