Software Engineer @ EchoStar in Englewood, CO
"Software engineering is a mentally stimulating field with an endless number of problems to solve. The sedentary aspects of the field can wreak havoc on your body but I wouldn't trade it for anything."

Software Engineer @ Phantom EFX in Cedar Falls, IA
"As a programmer, designing and integrating systems is always appealing. My only recommendation about this career choice is that you find the genre you're interested in before you seek a job. If you work on games, you need the games mindset. If you work on software for professional development, that's a completely different place you need your head at."
