I flipped burgers, flipped some more burgers, got a summer job converting visualization code from FORTRAN to C in a physics lab, which made me all full and myself and such. Flipped some more burgers, got a job running the campus film association, flipped more burgers, got a job running a section of applied materials lab, coolest job ever. I was the master of the hydraulic testing machine. I get to pull on steel bars until they break, crush concrete blocks until they explode, play with liquid nitrogen and even liquid helium to see what that does to materials. Ran labs for freshmen and sophomore, became a TA, got a gob with USGS testing ground water, write ground water modeling software in FORTRAN, did field work drilling wells for USGS, then I graduated and got a real job.
