Through a family friend, I was able to get a position of an engineering firm near my house in Southern California. I’m currently working as a project manager of sorts, acting as the glue that holds the company, clients, and vendors together. It’s a pretty interesting job, gives me something to do while I’m off from school, and allows me to put my three years of Berkeley chemical engineering education to use while I’m off from school.
It’s been a real learning experience for me these first few days on the job, especially as I learn about the level of safety and reliability that goes into engineering design and peruse the overwhelming number of specifications that cover every single detail.
I’m really proud of you
