Norm graduated from Montana State College with a degree in mechanical engineering in May 1960. He became the first Asbjornson in his family to earn that distinction.

Around the time Norm graduated college he formulated three goals for his life. His first goal was to have a good family that he could be proud of. His second goal was to become the head of whatever organization he decided to pursue in his career. His third goal was to earn a million dollars and become a millionaire.

Norm set out with his newly earned degree to make his dreams a reality.
