I am a current high school physics teacher looking to get into aerospace and work for NASA. My interest is in working on spacecraft design and manufacturing - my dream is to help build something that goes to another planet or asteroid.
I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in Physics. I want more engineering experience and I plan on getting my masters and applying for a NASA internship while I complete my degree or going through the recent grads pathways program.
My question is: What kind of background should I aim for: Aerospace engineering, Mechanical, or other?
And what are some suggestions for someone like me, 26 years old, current teacher, who wants to go back to school and work for NASA? I know my path won't be typical, but it is my dream to work for NASA and explore our solar system!
