I am looking at going back to school for engineering. I just do not know what type I want to go for. As an aeronautical or astronautical engineer what is it that you do on a day to day basis?

Hi Summer!
My name is Julia, and I'm very interested in being an Aerospace Engineer. After reading your bio, I am so excited to be talking to you! After college, I hope to work for NASA as well, and think it would be an amazing opportunity. I was wondering if you could share some insight as to what I should be doing to prepare myself for a career such as that, and how I could work for NASA in the future. I'm currently a sophomore in high school, but I'm really interested in the aerospace program, and am still looking into possible universities to attend.
Thank you so incredibly much,
Julia

How do you balance being a cheerleader with working at NASA? I am a cheerleader at my high school and I am interested in aerospace engineering, but I also want to continue cheering in the future.

Hi Jenny! I don't know much about cheerleading... or what cheerleading entails in adulthood. I'm an electrical engineer and a salsa dancer. I am fortunate enough to live in a big city with a vibrant salsa dancing scene. I have performed and participated in competitions and have no problem keeping up with dancing alongside engineering. In fact, I know at least 3 other engineers who are actively performing and training at our studio. So it should not be a problem to keep up with the cheering unless it requires extensive periods of travel or conflicting with work schedule.
