It's like I'm just picking up where my mind stopped thinking when I was in 11th grade.
Here I am looking at engineering associate degrees offered by local community colleges. I used to dream of being an aerospace engineer. My high school guidance counselor told me not to major in that because she believed NASA would be defunded and there would be no jobs for that type of work.
God, I can't believe my dumb young ass took her words into consideration. A BILLIONAIRE is working WITH NASA, Our former president established a Space Force, and the govt admitted to UFOs and first contact.
When I think about what I could've achieved if I pursued my dream of going to college for aerospace engineering right after high school, I get a little sad.
When I think about starting over at a community College to get a associates, I get overwhelmed and exhausted.
When I think about the fact that in 2-3 years I could have an associates degree, or that by the time my son is 10 I could have a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering and be working in literally my dream field, I get excited.
Is it wrong of me to want my son to pursue physics and technology as well.. I hope he gets into it.
