He has a
Masters in Electrical Engineering and Acoustics from Purdue University (a very good acoustics school) and he can't find a job in the
Boston area (home of a dozen or so acoustical consulting companies, another dozen or so loudspeaker manufacturing companies including Bose, Boston Acoustics & Loud Technologies), several active audio & acoustical engineering associations (including Bosotn chapters of the ASA, AES, SMPTE and IEEE), and several schools with strong audio, acoustical and/or media programs (MIT Media Lab, BU, Northeastern, Berklee)?
Something does not compute. I highly doubt it's racism (I'm black and very active in the acoustics community in Boston and have witnessed basically no intentional racism). Everyone I know out that way is very busy and a lot of firms have hired recently so it's not a matter of employers not willing to hire.
There's either more to the story here or people are missing out on a potentially fantastic hire.
edit: I've put out some feelers to see if any knows or might be interested in speaking with this guy.
