Your story reminded me of an old gentleman I knew that graduated from Texas A&M with an engineering degree in the late 1940's. There was a JD recruiter at school that offered him a job. With a good signing bonus he accepted and was immediately sent to a field demonstration in La. He drove down in his new company pickup and there was a good crowd of farmers ready to see the tractors.
