I need a ph.d in engineering to work in NASA???

Question

your answers make me sick all of you except the first answer all a bunch of idiots and mediocre

thanks JPK

Answer 1

I was a NASA fellow for several years while finishing my PhD in Physics. I had an office at Marshal Space Flight Center and later at Goddard.

I found many masters degreed personel that supported the scientists (PhDs) that directed the interesting work.

You will need a PhD if you want a realistic chance to direct, run, and solicit projects that you are interested in, you only need a MS or BS to support those PhDs.

I would get a BS, then apply to a graduate school looking for schools that have students that have received NASA/GSRP Fellowships, these students get to work on Graduate programs at NASA while they are finishing thier degree, they are typically considered the cream of the crop.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

No, but it would be best is you had some technical degree. But I wouldn't waste my time with NASA. Its a deadend organization with no mission or purpose.

Once we made it to the moon, NASA was done. What have they done since. Build a space station that is mostly junk, build shuttles that explode, a telescope that needs glasses, and crash martian landers.

You would be serve mankind much better by getting a productive job in the private sector.

If you want a High Tech government job check into the Department of Defense for what used to be called Department of readiness and material command. They develop all kinds of high tech systems for the military.

Answer 3

Your grammar is atrocious, as is the structure of your question. I assume you are asking if you need a PhD to work at NASA. The answer is no. I worked there in the 60s with a BSEE to begin with, and proceeded to an MSEE. My bosses were the docs and double (or more) docs.

Answer 4

Not necessarily. It depends on what you want to do. They certainly do need PhD engineers, but NASA is a huge organization, with many different types of jobs.

If you want to be an astronaut, then I would say yes, it is essential to have graduate education.

Answer 5

no you don't, you can have a high school diploma and work for nasa, but obviously you won't be working in mission control except as a janitor.

Answer 6

You didn't think all those engineering problems they had were from high school drop outs did you?

Lets start
feet vs meters
pound vs gram
pot vs coke

Answer 7

Last time I check, the janitor has only two masters degrees from MIT.

So I would say no to that.

Answer 8

is it available in general store. man u need to research in some of the topic, u r asking such question for that i dont think u deserve the answer

Answer 9

if you have to ask you shouldn't work there.
