  If there’s one thing that I’ve learned since I entered NJIT, it’s that it’s okay to change your mind about your career.  I started at NJIT as a Chem Engineer.  Now I have a computer consulting and software development company specializing in database and web computing.
  The Chem Eng Co-op program helped me to find exactly what I wanted to do.  The Co-op Director decided that I might be a good fit for Exxon, now ExxonMobil, and signed me up for an interview.  Exxon hadn’t even been on the original list of companies that would accept co-op students.
  During my co-op, I worked as a contact engineer on the refinery units.  I began my full-time career in Exxon Chemicals technical computing area where Chemical Engineering and Computer Science merge. My Exxon career lasted for 8 years.  After receiving my Masters in Computer Science from NJIT in 1988, I started Hendela System Consultants. Now aside from raising a family and running a business, I am working on my PhD in Information systems.  It’s been quite a career.
