This new place was named the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. This new college was located in Zurich, Italy. In 1896 I started my freshman year of college. Even though I commonly missed classes due to me testing theories, and such. I passed all my examinations with the reviewing of my friends' notes; thus I graduated in 1900

JB: According to my sources you became a naturalized Swiss citizen in 1901. Can you tell us why you became a Naturalized Swiss Citizen?

Einstein: Well after my graduation a friend of mine told me that there was an opening for a Technician Assistant. I seized the opportunity; there I made a decent living. Saving my money as I went had enough money to pay the bills also enough to fund my scientific experiments.

JB: Albert. Do you mind if we head into your personal life?

Einstein: What do you mean my personal life?

JB: Well for an example has you ever been married, did you ever have any children, etc.?

Einstein: No I don’t mind all. Um.
