Different Backgrounds What do engineers and other technical staff members study? Logic is important – think of the folks on all those police dramas (e.g. CSI, Law & Order). Ability to read and comprehend critical! Communications skills extremely important too – good requirements are hard to come by. Creativity goes hand-in-hand with problem- solving, not just mission design.

How do they accomplish their job? Open to learning – on the job training or second degrees  New concepts  New software languages  New methods/processes Ability to use computers and their applications. Ability to express yourself clearly in , IM, or on the phone. Know when to call in an expert!

Summary – How do YOU become a technical staff member? Get as good a grade point average as you can. Get into a college. Do NOT give up. Study hard/learn a lot in college – this develops good study habits! Take a physics or astronomy class, if you can. Volunteer for scientific or technical-related projects. Intern if you can. It all goes on the resume. Apply for jobs. Do NOT give up.

Do Not Give Up
