Re: What would be your dream tech job?
Being a government spook would be a fun job. Design really massive radio communications intercept systems, build collossal underground supercomputers, do freakishly complicated mathematics all day, tell the masses what they need to hear, send stuff in to space without any of the pesky budgetary constraints NASA has... yes, working for one of the three letter agencies would be fun.

Re: What would be your dream tech job?
I agree! Being a government spook would be awsome...I always wanted to wear those sunglasses anyways. I'd prolly want a go at the CIA. You could spy on the world and no one would know it=) If you were really bored you could design a gui so that your workspace really DID look like those movies with the nice buttons and scrolling animations.

Re: What would be your dream tech job?
I would really love to work at a game development company.
And if i'm allowed to dream, I would like to work for Sega in Sonic Team. I hope that game companys can grow here in Brazil :( |
Re: What would be your dream tech job?
I have pretty much given up on chartered accountancy. I want to be a lion tamer!

Re: What would be your dream tech job?
My dream job is to design and build novel robotic systems that will either improve human lives, save human lives, or take the place of humans in danger. I want to build search-and-rescue devices, medical robotic devices, and miitary robotic systems.
I get to start working on it next fall when I start my PhD work (most likely at VaTech....but still waiting on other acceptances). After I get my degree...my dream job is to research and innovate new things outside of a cubical atmosphere!! Who knows..maybe i'll go on to teach college and research there! -Gabe Goldman VCU Robotics Club Prez |
Re: What would be your dream tech job?
While I am pretty sure that I want to go into engineering, I am still not sure what exactly I want to do with my degree when I get out of college. I want to go to graduate school (definitely for a Masters, possibly for a Ph.D), but once I actually go into the work-force, I am not sure what my specific area of interest will be.
What seem to excite me most are robotics-related jobs that have close ties with the scientific world. I think it would be awesome to design robots that are used to aid scientists in their research. For example, I think it would be awesome to work as an engineer for either NOAA or NASA - designing underwater vehicles or robots that travel into space. I want to build the vehicles that will be responsible for new scientific discoveries. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been in love with science. That is why (even though I want to design mechanisms as an engineer) I want to keep close ties to the scientific world in my engineering career. I have always been fascinated by the universe and outer-space, as well as the world's oceans. I think I am leaning towards building robots that explore the oceans. Did you know that 95% of the ocean is completely unexplored? The earth's oceans are one of the last frontiers, as well as outer space. The ocean is very important as a natural resource to human beings, as well as an incredibly rich and diverse habitat for other living creatures (thousands of which have not even been discovered yet!). The mechanics of ocean currents have enormous importance in terms of our climate (an important issue of the present and future), and the plate tectonics of the ocean need to be better monitored and understood in order to avoid tragedies such as last years South Asian Tsunami. Not only is the ocean fascinating to me, but I like the idea of the nature of a career building under-sea robots. For example, I would get to travel on research vessels to test and monitor robotic equipment, and I love the idea of being on the ocean. Plus I would be closely connected to the scientific side of things, and would get to see the direct results and value of my work. My love of the ocean has actually made me consider getting a dual-degree in both mechanical engineering and marine science. I probably would not be able to graduate in 4 years (it would probably be 5), but I would not mind if the dual-degree would further enhance my career. This is one of the reasons why I am considering the University of Miami for my undergraduate degree. The school is the largest research institution in the southeast, and has both an excellent marine science program and engineering program. The location is perfect for doing marine research. Are there any other Chief Delphi-ers out there who have (or want to) have a career in ocean-related robotics technology? If so, I would appreciate your point of view regarding this field. Thanks, Jaine |

Jaine:
I think you should look into some collegiate researchers who are developing underwater robotics. Even if you are still in the beginning of your undergraduate career, most researchers will be more than happy to let you come and tour their lab and ask questions about their research. If you are lucky, once they are familiar with you they might have a spot open in their lab once you graduate:) Good luck...and hopefully I'll be one of your colleges in the elite robotic academia field we will both be in soon!! -Gabe Goldman |

I want to be JVN. A complicated answer in itself to a simple question.

Re: What would be your dream tech job?
My dream job is working at a research laboratory such as CERN or Fermilab studying advanced physics. Specifically, I want to study the link between gravity and electromagnetism and find some way to make an Alcubierre Drive.
I want to do something with my life that contributes to human knowledge. There is no greater achievement than discovery. |
Re: What would be your dream tech job?
Reading through this thread i noticed all the different things that people want to pursue in thier lives and what they have for ideas. There is everything from your expected mechincal engineer to a lion tamer {not really a tech job}. It goes to show how a FIRST team is not one person but a complex codependence of people who are all striving to meet the same goal. I just thought it was kinda cool.
