The Armageddon trailer gave me an existential crisis growing up because my dad said "if this really happened we'd all just die." Thanks dad.

And from my experience, a great deal of aerospace engineers are also musicians which is pretty cool. I think engineers are generally just passionate people and like figuring shit out, music being one of them.

So I think it'd be easier to teach music to an astronaut, and that we'd all die if we sent up musicians unless that musician happened to be an engineer (please someone send me to space).

Definitely try and get some work experience before graduating. Also look at jobs you want and what skills they require and teach yourself those skills if they aren't things taught to you in school.

Also GO TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES and ask the TA if you have questions. I was a TA and I remember all the students who came up and talked with me about any problems they had. I think that's the purpose of that job - to make sure you understand what sometimes a removed and overly educated professor mistakenly thought they explained perfectly. Things are hard and that's fine.

Good luck with your studies!

Good luck on your exam tomorrow!

And I survived via a lot of beer, a lot of studying, and some pretty great friends that were also in the same field. Wouldn't have made it without them.

Oh man this question will probably cause some arguments haha.

I'm a slave to Logic Pro X because that's what I started out in, and for me once I have that muscle memory down, I don't want to try and create music while learning an entirely new interface.

If I was just starting out I'd probably learn to use Ableton since it's a lot easier to use for both live performances and for writing music. But honestly if all you care about is writing, then I think any DAW will do. Just make sure to READ the manual and legitimately learn how to use it.
