What you click on, is a GUI front-end, to tell NetworkManger what to do. Probably it's nm-applet (Gnome3 and KDE usually come with different ones). > I go into the top right-hand location and click on the applet and > select my network.

You should check, that the WiFi connection you are trying to connect is properly configured. You can right-click on the icon of nm-applet and do "Edit connections". If you cannot figure out whats wrong, it might be helpful to look at the logfiles and provide more information journalctl -b 0 _SYSTEMD_UNIT=NetworkManager.service > > > What I ultimately want NM to do is give me the ability to connect to > various wireless connections (Library, Home, parents Home, etc.) > without going through the manual setup (as described in the above > link) of making such a connection.
