Hi, I am currently in 10th grade and am willing to take a course on astronautics engineering in university, and would want to be an astronautics engineer.
For those of you Orbinauts around here who actually also are astronautics engineering in profession, or have taken such a course in university, please tell me what each of you deal with and what you do (astronautics is a very diverse field; propulsion, space systems design, mission planning, etc).
What should I do starting now in high school, and what should I do to get accepted to an engineering school, or to the course itself? I am considering Arizona State for my Bachelor degree, and Purdue for my Masters.
For those of you who took the course, please tell me about your memories of what you've done in high school to take the course in university, and your grades.
And as for the course itself, I would like to know what it is actually like learning it. In university, what subjects did you take? What was learning, studying, and taking the course like? Any feelings of boredom or difficulty? How did you overcome stress, difficulty, and final semester exams? What do you do during your free time?
Once you have graduated, which industries/company did you apply to? What is it like to work as an astronautics engineer? Your triumphant moments and fall-back moments? What are your favorite and least favorite parts of your job? How do you like your job overall? Sorry for pestering you all with many questions, but all in all, thanks.
