I'm a Research Analyst for the Alaska Satellite Facility. Basically I track satellites and ensure proper downlinking of data for research/science projects. There's also the defense satellites, but that's a discussion no no.

I don't know yet. I am going to stick it out for the rest of the season (Nov.) and see what happens. I still enjoy being the track announcer on Saturday nights but the M-F stuff sucks moose *****. Probably just go back to driving a truck.

I'm a Software Reconfiguration Engineer for the U.S.C.G. Basically we design and implement the workstation environment(s) that all U.S.C.G. personel use. We also take other applications (3rd party etc), software (patches from Microsoft, utilities, tools, etc) and break them down and re-work them to try and get them to work within the environment that has been dictated.

I'm just finishing my sophomore year doing mechanical engineering. During the summer I work full time at my uncle's hardware store and I might do some landscaping on the side for a friend. I really need an internship badly though. I guess it'll have to be next summer.
