Anyone work for NASA? if so what do you do, any advice?

Question

one day I hope to get a job here. thank you =)

Answer 1

Yes - at JPL.  

Basic scientific research in Earth and atmospheric science.

NASA scientists and engineers study the Earth as well as the solar system and the rest of the universe.  

I recommend combining a strong science background (in any field, physics, chemistry, geology, biology) with a strong background in computers, mechanical, electrical or aerospace engineering, or robotics.

You don't need a PhD unless you want to do purely scientific research.

I also cannot over-emphasize the importance of science education and public outreach.  This is critical to all Earth and space science projects and missions.  

Good luck!

Answer 2

They always need engineers, even chemical engineers.  

Answer 3

they monitor various astronomical movements and events in space or earth's atmosphere

Answer 4

My uncle works at NASA, I know that they have summer interships for students. You should ck it out and then  you will get 1st hand knowledge of what u like and don't like.

Answer 5

What do you want to do?

NASA employs a lot of people doing very different jobs.

One of my ex-graduate students now works for NASA in public outreach.

I know many astrophysicists who work for NASA.

In the case of my student, she has a Masters degree in astronomy.

In the case of the other people I know they mostly have PhDs - usually in astronomy/astrophysics/physics.
