Escaping Death
After graduating from Beloit College in 1906, Andrews headed to New York City to work at the American Museum of Natural History. Unfortunately, there weren’t any open job positions when he got there. But the determined Andrews wasn’t going to give up on his dream of working at the museum. He persisted and was eventually hired to clean the floors and help out the taxidermy department.

It didn’t take long for Andrews to climb up the ladder, and he soon found himself in the field. At the start of his career, he explored massive swathes of Asia and continued to cheat death. Andrews remembered ten times he almost died in his early days.
