  • Correct.

    The early flag from the post-revolutionary War (Betsy Ross flag) had 13 stripes, indicating the separated colonies, and the blue square contained 13 stars in a circle orientation, indicating the new united colonies in one “circle”. We then changed the stars to a square pattern and added stars as we added additional states.




  • I started an internship as a sophomore in college with a local manufacturing corp. Did part time there while going full time for my mech.E bachelor’s.degree. I originally planned to only be there a year, but it ended up working out that I stayed all the way thru graduation doing a variety of jobs in their r&d labs as an assembly tech, CNC machinist, and also a CAD drafter. About 6mo before graduating I applied for an open product engineer position and was able to roll into working full time right after, have been there for about a year and a half ish now.

    I was able to graduate with some savings and a high paying job, I basically hit the fucking jackpot.
