Sister future

Free Time??:

• Join your professional societies as a student member

• Join whatever your “women in STEM” organization is
  • for engineering it’s SWE - the Society of Women Engineers
• This weird volunter programmer for the DoD thing

Research:

• Start in a professor’s lab, perhaps unpaid but should be paid for summers

Start-up stuff:

• There’s a lot of money and opportunity pouring into the “Innovation/Start-up” space. If clubs sound boring, this is a good way to pump up your “involvement” while actually trying to make money or do something interesting

• Federal Gov’t research labs
  • Oak Ridge
  • Lawrence Livermore
  • Lawrence Berkeley

Internships/Co-ops

• I think this is a really good idea. Take 5 years to graduate because you did a co-op for a year. Who cares?
• At GT, a co-op is a formal program where you commit yourself to a company for 3 full-time semesters (and usually a summer in between). Expectations are appropriate and the company really invests in you (hoping you’ll enjoy yourself and stick around).

First Job:

• Rotational Program?
  • Travel around country 6 months at a time
  • Only example I have on hand is BNSF Railroad

Grad School:

• Need to think about getting a Master’s to stay relevant and to specialize
