I was applying for the board last April, during my senior year of undergrad. When it was cancelled, I realized that I was going to graduate with just a part-time job at Lowe's. I searched fervently for job openings and was fortunate to land the job I have now- Operations Supervisor in the freight transportation industry. Prior to the oh so rewarding career lined up at Lowe's, I waited tables, sold cell phones, parked cars, led a group of second graders in summer school in the public school district, and my personal favorite: parking lot attendant. None of them were in any way glamorous, but they sure did teach me many things!

[Z-Man]

NASA Engineering Intern, General Electric Aviation Engineering Intern, Undergraduate Research Assistant since the beginning of my sophomore year (2nd semester Junior right now).

I still have 1.5 years before I can even apply to OCS, 5 year plan...f'n waiting game. I wish I could just graduate now. I am really hoping we see a up trend instead of down trend in the number of slots available in the coming years. My recruiter keeps pushing NUPOC, but I'm holding out. Maybe I'm just being naive, but I want to be a naval aviator damnit!

Hold out. Totally worth it.

I applied the fall after my graduation from college. I worked random office jobs, did some dishwashing and retail/food service stuff throughout high school and college.

After college I worked at Guitar Center for a year while I waited for my OCS app to go through. I thought that would be a short-term job. I learned a lot about life, music, and people.
