How to enter/help develop Space Industry?
Hi, Thanks for clicking on the question link. I am not sure what to do and would like to hear some anonymous advice. Who am I? Someone who has dreamed about whats in outer space, but currently, I am a College student who will be graduating this semester with a B.S. Degree in Economics and a minor in Psychology (~3.23 cumulative g.p.a.). Though, I could have graduated last semester I decided to stay an extra semester and pursue an interest I have in a Engineering/Science degree. I did this by studying Mechanical Engineering because it appears very versatile, though I was close to choosing astrophysics (Seems like for astrophysics, it would take at least 20 years to get where you would want to be). The purpose of this would be to eventually allow me to work somewhere in the space industry. I would greatly enjoy assisting government or third party space companies/programs develop (i.e. NASA, Space X, Deep Space Industries, or Planetary Resources). The Dilemma, it would take another 6 semesters (3 years) of hard work and money to finish this second B.S. degree and I am not so sure it would get me any closer to my dream job. I have been contemplating earning a PhD in economics and try to help that way (I do have some research ideas and would not mind teaching), but it would take at least another 7 years of school and I am not even sure I could get in or could afford it because my g.p.a. of ~3.23 is low for even getting accepted to grad school. I think I have summed up my problem well, but if there is anything relevant that could help you, help me feel free to ask. Thank you again for your help!
