>> Well, I went to Rutgers University in New Brunswick at first undergraduate.
My major was psychology.
And then I had to take a physics course because I thought I would probably end
up doing something in medicine although I wasn't sure what was going to be.
I couldn't fit into my schedule at Rutgers so I decided to take it over the summer
because I lived up in Bergen County up at Fairleigh Dickinson in Teaneck.
And since I come from a very wealthy family and only had to work three jobs I had to fit it
in you know where I possibly could.
So I think I took the Monday and Wednesday late class.
Sit down, a guy runs in takes the only available seat, sits next to me.
Now we're lab partners.
At the break, he said to me why you taking this course?
I said because I can't fit it into my schedule at Rutgers.
I said where you taking this course?
He said because I'm going to podiatry school and I said what's that?
And so explain it to me and he took me to see his--
his father and his stepfather were both podiatrists, that was interesting--
and took me to see the office and I said you know I'm interested in that.
I could do that.
I applied, I got in after only three years of college.
So during the four years that I was in medical school they changed the credit requirement
for a bachelor's degree I found myself in my fourth year of podiatry school going
into my fourth year of podiatry school only 11 credits short of a bachelor's degree.
So with my wife's encouragement, we decided that I should get a bachelor's degree.
So at night at Rutgers in Camden I took the 12 credits short
and therefore ended up with a bachelor's degree.
