Re: NASA SHARP

I went through the SHARP program back in '88... a long time ago. It was one of the most valuable experiences that I've had. Don't think of it as missing out on a fun weekend at Nationals. Think of it as a chance to start your career early. SHARP helps you get a foot in the door for any science/engineering job you may apply for in the future.

If you get the position, be sure to take advantage of your mentor-- ask lots of questions and learn as much as you can. Also, work your butt off on the final report. It'll pay off later. I used mine even years later as an example of my work during interviews.

Good luck!
