Jesse's Jaw Jackin

I love my current job. I'm working for NASA. I'm a business major. Some people may ask where do I fit in at NASA. I answer, "Business is everywhere." How'd I get here one may ask. I was lucky enough for them to have always had a special relationship with Tuskegee University to come there especially to recruit. Why did I take the position? I took it because it was NASA, and furthermore a government job. This was a step to securiing my future. I am a co-op meaning I do a semester working and a semester of college on an off and on basis. That's a feat in it's on for someone to explicitly delay they're graduation. It's an investment, I say. I've learned about the interns as well. They come to NASA in the summers. The intern pool ranges all the way down to freshman year, in high school.

This amazes me. It also has me wondering why aren't more people aware of such possibilities. I go around high schools when I'm at home and ask kids what they want to do with there life and it's still they same cliche refrain being itterated from the mouths of the blessed youth that remain ignorant to their unlimited possibilities other than becoming a rapper, movie star, or playing sports. I'm not demeening any of those professions at all. Plenty good has come from our achievements in those areas. I'm just screaming for some diversity. I just want to show the youth that there is another way. I think Obama's election has shown a definite option, be it a stretch, but still a shining a example to inspire the little black boys and girls.

I think what is it that gets the youngster's attention. It's the lifestyle that these famous people live that gets them wanting to lay down some tigh beats, dunk on someone, and win best lead role. What can we do to lure them in? We need to stop sending the typical pencil pushers recruiting at these high schools. The first thing they observe is not the job description. Some of the recruiters make more than Kobe, but you would never know by just looking at them. Modesty is charming, but it's reel in the kids with eyes open to a more flashy life. Basically, I'm saying we could better to attract their attention. We still must remain professional. I'm not saying go to a job fair rocking J's (air jordans to those unfamiliar) {Flash shoes to those who still don't get it}, or showcasing a gold grill (doubt anybody even finds that attractive anymore). I'm saying that there is nothing wrong with part of your pitch being that you are living just as happily and comfortibly as your P. Diddy's, Jay'z's, Lil Wayne's, Lebroan Jame's, Denzel Washingtons, etc., if not better.
