As I've previously mentioned, the main reason I'm a Sun Campus Ambassador is because I spent 18 months with them on placement as part of my degree course. Well, by the end of this summer that'll be 21 months, as I'm back down in Camberley just now for a summer contract with my old team in the Global Labs.

It's an interesting experience, as I'm now one rung off the bottom of the pecking order - still a long way from CEO, but at least I get to boss the new guys about help bring the new year's placement interns up to speed. It's a good opportunity to build up a bit more professional experience before leaving uni, and the extra money doesn't hurt either :-D
I'll be starting up the Campus Ambassador program again when I return to Strathclyde this autumn, and part of that will be promoting the Sun placements available to Strathclyde students, which will probably include the chance to work the US Global Labs team in California as in previous years. Watch this space for more information!
