I'm a professor of Aerospace Engineering... I specialize in spacecraft design and
orbital mechanics (a little different from 'vette mechanics :D ). I keep telling my
students to design their spacecraft to look like Corvettes... then NASA might get
more public support! :lol:

Grad student working towards an MA in National Strategic and Security Studies. :cool:

Actually, that is the degree from the Naval War College if we do well enough. In the real world, I am a Naval Flight Officer with time in both A-6E Intruders and EA-6B Prowlers. Next year, I get to go back to the fleet and fly. :cheers:

This is just a year off to make me a "well rounded naval officer".

Anyway, an officer, by act of Congress, and gentleman, ask me in the morning.

Im a full time(and some) student trying to get a masters in architecture. Actually Im still working on the bathelors. :lol:

Next fall I'll be going to UNC Charlotte(was UM, but at $36,000 a year, UNC charlotte is cheaper at just over $3,000 a year, plus its in-state as apposed to out-of-state). After that I'll apply to Harvard for every symester until they give in and accept me and give me scolarships. I'll get my Masters there. :D

Used to be a production manager at a factory that makes bent steel hydraulic lines. The time came to move on. I'm a mechanic at a cheese factory now. Let me tell you, repairing a corvette and repairing cheese making equipment are COMPLETELY different ball games. Both are pretty rewarding though. :cheers:

Was a network Admin, moved to Systems Engineering, moved to Management, moved to Unemployment....

Maybe Scuba will back me up when I say stay away from the Internet, computers, and technology. Maybe I'll find something stable, I don't know - like doggydoo scooper. After all it's gotta be more rewarding :crazy:
