Actually, I don't have a degree in journalism as you espouse (take a look at the grammatical mistakes in my last post...lol).

This is my second career; my first was as an Engineer in the Aerospace community from 1980 until 1996.

I do have a Masters of Science in Engineering if that is any consolation.

For the record, I moved to NY back in 1996 with my wife, who wanted to attend NYU to finish her Masters in Psychology...

The career in Journalism all came about because of a business opportunity that was presented to me by a friend in California, who wanted me to become his partner on the East Coast.

Specifically, I publish a daily newsletter to a closed loop of subscribers (most large to middle size law firms in Manhattan, as well as several major publications), in which I summarize civil and white-collar criminal litigation complaints for that day.

I also sell breaking-news stories to local television/radio news entities and a few miscellaneous periodicals.

Additionally, I have also been a guest on some patriot short-wave programs concerning Class action securities litigation and 9-11...so you see I'm really not the "elitist" you make me out to be.

I'm just another concerned American patriot.
