Thread: Madrid, here I come!

Don't worry, I'll be ok... I'm finishing up my degree (I'm eligible to graduate at the end of this semester, but want to take 2 more classes next semester for a double-major in addition to my minor) and was planning on looking for an internship this summer. I already have another job at my university, and an old coworker of mine has some contract work I can do.

Really, I was working this job for two reasons: Free travel, and I absolutely love working with airplanes. Even if I really didn't feel like cleaning a plane out an hour before my shift started, I always got really excited when that plane approached and I'd be in charge of marshalling it in, climbing into the cargo bin, etc. There's something about the whole experience that's indescribable... but I'm sure most of you know what I mean. Eventually I hope to work for an airline as a programmer or maybe a GIS (computer mapping) job of some kind.

Edit: Also, I just wanted to say as well that SkyWest has been absolutely fantastic for me. Maybe it's because we're a close-knit station with only a dozen employees (about half of them I worked with every weekend) but the people I'd work with were always phenomenal and I'll probably miss that the most. Things like hiding behind a deice truck with my supervisor, snowballs in hand, while one coworker would trick another into walking by us so we could get him when he didn't expect it.
