    I would be, but the industry is vicious.. I can only find a host of senior positions open >.<

    But that's why i'm starting my masters for it soon.

    I was working in media since high school.
    First a journalist, than a radio presenter/newscaster and radio sound technician, than a studio display operator, than a graphic designer, movie editor and typography specialist in TV.
    However, I was studying electronics and now I got admitted to Biomedical Engineering at Hanze University Groningen in Holland, with my dream job being inserting chips into soldiers' brains. Unfortunately, this being prohibited in EU, I am aiming for non-invasive diagnostics and medical imaging. Starting September ^ ^

    Kudos for wanting to be a Navy Seal Xam. I firmly believe that if you are going to make a career out of the military you should go SF of some sort. That is the only way I would go full time military anymore.

    Myself, I am a University student studying Biology and will be focusing on cell physiology/metabolism. To help with school I am working as a lifeguard and am working in a lab with a professor studying what I want to focus on.

    Software Design Engineer (Test) at Microsoft. I get to find as many bugs as I can as early as I can, in the hopes that the people who will complain don't have to... :)

    Thank you, my ship out date to boot is June 12 2011 but I'm trying to get it sooner, the reason it's so long is because I am finishing paramedic school and won't be completely done for a few months. I am currently finishing my clinical rotation in Boise, ID. Can't wait to leave, I'm very excited.

    We had one of the SEAL teams on the JFK during the first Gulf war. Nice group of guys.

    Every once in a while when things were slow and we didn't have flight ops they'd lower one of the aircraft elevators, set up targets, and blow them away.

    It was always fun watching them.

    I work at Wal Mart.

    Yeah...but I am also a Video Game Audio Designer. I have just finished work for an indie project down in Mississagua, Ontario. Later this year (probably January) I will be going back to school for police.

    Worked in research and development with the engineers at martin Marietta,sub contracting for NASA. Building the first external tanks for the space shuttle.

    I had no degrees.I was taught at Nasa by the engineers I worked under.

    I worked at Nasa's Michoud plant in New Orleans. That's where I learned the skills and where the tanks are built.

    I worked at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama when we sent tanks there for testing.

    I worked at the Kennedy space center when we sent the first few tanks to be assembled with the shuttle.

    I worked at the NASA John C. Stennis Space Center, located in south Mississippi when we static tested a mockup of the external tank assembled with the solid rocket boosters.

    Too get to witness the static tests of the solid rocket boosters had to be a highlight.
    That is besides walking into the Vehicle Assemble Building at Cape Kennedy.. the history in that building..made the hair on my neck stand up.

    I was in the VAB as a 14 yo kid in 1969...standing at the foot of apollo 14 rocket fully assembled...
    looking up at the apollo 14 knowing it was going to take the first men to the moon...A moment etched in my mind.

    Then late 70's I was walking in the VAB to work on the very first shuttle launch. I had goosebumps all day.


    after that..the rest of my jobs were pretty boring....
