If you love science, love to travel,
and want to make a difference in thousands of people's lives,
being a CRA just might be for you.
I am Nick Burger.
And this is a day in the life of the CRA I.
So my day usually starts the day before
when I go to the airport,
board my flight, and fly to the town that I'm going to go to,
to do my visit.
Next day I wake up, get a good breakfast,
and then get on the road to go to the site.
I meet with the research coordinator at the site
and the PI, and then start my day,
which usually involves SDV, SDR looking over IP.
And then making sure that I tour the site
to make sure everything's in order.
And then I usually finish the day talking to the PI.
I finished my day by going back to the hotel,
getting a good dinner, answering a few emails,
and then just kind of enjoying my evening before
flying back the next day.
So I'm usually on the west coast,
flying back to the Midwest in Chicago.
This job requires a lot of self discipline,
but it also allows a lot of freedom and a lot of rewarding work.
If you're like me, if you do start in this position,
you're going to be looking at the airplane window,
looking at the clouds,
going to a new city and thinking, wow, this really is my job!
Really glad I got the opportunity to make this video.
I hope you enjoyed it and I shall see you in the clouds.
