I used to roll my eyes and be like “yeah, yeah, whatever” when people would say “don’t follow the traditional path,” “chase your dreams,” and stuff like that about your 20’s. If you’d told me 7-8 years ago that I’d be interning with a company called Insanity Lab Racing designing and making carbon fiber racecar parts in the middle of nowhere in the Washington woods, I would have told you you were…well…insane. But after a few weeks there now, I’m starting to get what that means. It’s far from one of the big name companies around Seattle that all these engineers go find jobs at, like Boeing or PACCAR or Blue Origin, but it’s super hands-on, something different each day, and the guys I’m working with are absolute racecar masterminds. And this was what I told myself I’d wanted all through undergrad - somewhere I could manifest my enthusiasm for cars and be around people who share my automotive passion! And hey, if this doesn’t end up being what I want long term, I can always use this experience to get myself into some other kind of composite engineering. But don’t be afraid to get creative - I literally found this company through a Seattle Cars and Coffee Facebook group. You never know how the right opportunity will come across your path.
