Question
I'm from Nigeria currently studing ME in one uni. here.I wish to work with NASA.what are the requirements?THANK U.

Answer
Tobi
All NASA employees must be U.S. citizens.  That is a difficult path, but many NASA employees are foreign born and have gone through the process.  An exceptional academic record is usually required.  You can also work for NASA as a contractor and be a non-citizen.  But most contractors prefer U.S. citizens because the security clearance becomes much easier.  Sorry, that is the way it is.  Check the NASA website for job opportunities and requirements.
