NASA is most likely the most alluring of all government agencies.

Since NASA deals with

exploring the unknown and advancing mankind, many people want to work for NASA in some
sort of capacity. While becoming an astronaut may be the best known job at NASA, there are
many other career and job paths that are critical towards the overall future success of the space
program.

Careers at NASA
1. Computer Engineering
One of the top jobs at NASA is to become a computer engineer. Computer engineers are very
vital towards the success of any space mission and the overall program. Since most of the
machines at NASA are now run off of computers, the engineers are necessary to build new
computer programs, fix existing errors, and find ways to make them run more efficiently.

2. Accounting
Another job that is necessary at NASA is accounting. While NASA is best known for building
and using rocket ships, it is still a very large organization with a huge budget. To ensure that the
organization is staying on budget, and using its funds wisely, it needs teams of accountants.
Accountants are hired at NASA for a variety of purposes including financial statement
preparation, budgeting and forecasting, and even reconciling bank accounts and other financial
accounts. Most accountants at NASA have at least a bachelor's degree in the field and many have
received a CPA as well.

3. Administrative Support
Another career path for people at NASA is to go into an administrative support role. There are a
range of different support roles that are necessary for the future of NASA. Some of the top roles
including management assistants, procurement clerks, typists, marketing staff, and even public
relations.

4. Engineering Technician
When it comes to ensuring that the rocket ships are in good shape, engineering technicians are
very important. Engineers are hired to complete a range of different takes including developing
new flight plans, building and repairing components of the ship, and even being sent to the space
stations to ensure that they are in good working order. Engineering technicians that work for
NASA normally have at least a master's degree in engineering, and may even have a doctorate in
the field.

5. Meteorology
Whenever NASA is starting a new mission, it needs to be assured that it is aware of all factors in
outer space. This will include knowing the alignment of the sun, positioning of the moon and
other planets, and knowing where other nearby comets and satellites are. Based on this
information, they can make sure that certain missions are run as efficiently and safely as possible.
Those that go into meteorology at NASA will be focused on all of these studies. They may even
spend more time studying near earth objects and other potential threats to the planet.

GAJI
NASA astronauts, the minimum wage per month can reach 450,000 US dollars (Rp 6.4 billion)
and the highest can reach 860,000 US dollars (Rp 12 billion).

If astronauts come to space or the space station to perform tasks, the average salary can reach
170,000 US dollars (Rp 2.4 billion).

SKILL
NASA considers having a strong EQ and great teamwork abilities just as essential as technical
expertise and so-called leadership skills. That’s why the Astronaut Selection Board looks for
candidates who demonstrate good “expeditionary skills” in their previous experience.

PLACEMENT
1. The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC, originally known as the NASA Launch
Operations Center), located on Merritt Island, Florida, is one of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) ten field centers. Since December 1968,
KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of human spaceflight. Launch operations
for the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space
Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC.[4] Located on the east coast of Florida,
KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS). The management of
the two entities work very closely together, share resources and operate facilities on each
other's property.

2. Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) is an installation of the United States Space
Force's Space Launch Delta 45, located on Cape Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida.
Headquartered at the nearby Patrick Space Force Base, the station is the primary launch site for
the Space Force's Eastern Range[5] with three launch pads currently active (Space Launch
Complexes 37B, 40, and 41).

3. Vandenberg Space Force Base (IATA: VBG, ICAO: KVBG, FAA LID: VBG),
previously Vandenberg Air Force Base, is a United States Space Force Base located 14.8
km (9.2 mi) northwest of Lompoc, California. Established in 1941, Vandenberg Space
Force Base is a space launch base, launching spacecraft from the Western Range, and
also performs missile testing.
