<p>My job and what I do: A student intern at a federal defense contractor. I am involved in testing hardware included in some of our defense technology. I get hands on experience with the hardware, but I also spend time executing scripts at a computer and looking over the resulting data. (Sorry for being vague. I am not allowed to speak specifically about what I do.)</p>
<p>Do I like it?: Yes. My field of study is very specific, but also very relevant at my particular job. And it is a much broader field than you may think with many applications. Much of today’s cutting edge technology involves optics in some form.</p>
