Plan for Career
In order to get a job, I am going to get my associates degree in Engineering or some Computer Science field, then use that to get a job within that field to make money. However, I will possibly go back to college for another degree in order to broaden my job selection. I will have job experience for my career by the time I do get a job because the way iLEAD works it prepares you for the work field and the things you need to know and do while in the work field.
Job Shadowing
Architect
I learned that architects can work from home and that they can work on what they wish. He uses layers and layers of designing to get true dimensions and textures and colors that he wants to put into the design. He continues with this design for days on end until he is happy with the complete design. I’m assuming he is an entrepreneur and makes these designs to build for money. He designed his own house that he and his family are living in. He has so many things going on at once, he has the original house pictured on the computer, he has colors and textures on paper scattered all over his desk to keep in mind what will look best and go best with what he is trying to accomplish. He layers all of his sketches in a way that they align and create depth.

I learned that they do a lot of computer work behind the desk. They make a good amount of money for what they do. There are many things that he isn’t able to show because it is private/government information. He inspects logs which I am assuming are to see if there are any breaches in any system. He does testing at offsite data centers which is where all the data is held in the servers. I job shadowed a lady last year that worked in places very similar to these and helped her clear out many of those rooms. I can’t remember what most of the stuff is called, but I do know that there is a lot of critical information being stored there and one wrong move can cause a lot of panic. He uses python code injection to find vulnerabilities in systems.
