How my career relates to my degree from RIT/NTID
Boeing looks for your talent and ability to work with people in a fast-paced environment. My volunteer experiences, fraternity leadership, other community involvement and my co-op at Eaton Aerospace got the attention of the Boeing recruiters. I actually found my job through the RIT Job Fair.
