He taught high School Physics and Chemistry at JUNIPERO SERRA High School in Gardena California during 1976-1977. He then began a 30 year career as a Physicist and Optical Design Engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company and TRW.
After retirement in 2007, Mr. Klein became an author specializing philosophical thought. Mr. Klein's first book, "Lucifer's Catechism" is intended to illuminate how each of us is capable of Thinking for Ourselves rather than believing what others tell is true and what must be believed. Lucifer's Catechism exemplifies by contrast, the difference between believing the things we are told to believe and believing what we find through our personal experience what we want to believe.
Mr. Klein is now writing his second book, "The Happy Child" which is intended to illuminate to both adults and children how they can best live happy and self rewarding lives.ver menos
