Further on Transitioning

Your first thought as you begin your working career may be that your contribution is minor and doesn’t matter?  You might even ask yourself: “I went to college for this?” During my first job as a designer at Hamilton Standard Division of United Technology Inc. I thought my contribution was rather insignificant compared to the overall production of the Boeing 747 aircraft. Then I realized that if I had not designed the 747 “three wheel machine” rotating shaft assembly, the plane would not have had an Environmental Control System (air conditioning system) and therefore be unable to fly. You may be a small part in a large team but the team success depends greatly on your individual contribution.
