I'm tech support for the Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium, as well as the flight director for their high altitude balloon satellite program. I've been with them for nearly three years, and enjoy it much as it never gets too boring. The pay, however, could be better as I have friends who work at the local Shari's and get paid a dollar an hour more than I do, and that doesn't even include tips! But, since we're strictly running on a grant from the government, the budgeting is pretty tight. That's right taxpayers, you're paying my wages!

If I could, I'd just stick with these guys and launch weather balloons etc for the rest of my days, but like I said, the pay isn't idea. I'm studying Information Systems Technology and in a couple years when I graduate I'm hoping to get a job as a network administrator or something equivilent where I get paid a lot to use my computer skills (one of the very few skills I have).
