Math suggestions

And yes, I am still planning on being an astronomer, although i'm not quite sure what that means. I just know I don't want to waste my life. So if being an Astronomer means I get the chance to make discoveries, theories, and be on the verge of breakthrough's for the field, then yes, I would love to have that job. Space is my passion, but not a job in the field is not a necessity. I really just want to leave my mark, some how, I would love to discover something in the field of Astronomy, but I don't care whether or not it's astronomy so long as I make an impact on the world that has meaning in my absent foreseeable future.

Although I am not currently in the field, my degree is in Aeronautical Engineering, and rocket science is a pretty critical offshoot of astronomy. I am always fascinated by Astro shit in general, and TBH if I could do it all over I would have gone to USC or pursued MIT and tried my ass off to work for NASA in some capacity.

I would recommend listening to one of this episode of the Podcast Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project. It has David L. Miller on it, NASA's CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and he answers a lot of questions about what you should be studying in order to be a part of the badass things NASA (or the private companies they are helping to succeed) are doing in the next 30 years. I love Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) and that podcast, they actually do that episode on The Rock at Alcatraz.
