Fantastic! Thank you so much for taking time to answer my question. You guys are awesome!!!! Keep doing amazing things!

Hello! I am a 35 year old female Lead Web Developer who aspires to work at NASA. I would like to become a software engineer there and was wondering if you could give me some advice about what degree would benefit me on my track to achieving my goal, I would greatly appreciate the guidance.

My goal is to work on the software systems that are behind some of your amazing projects.

I am currently working as a Lead Web Developer and have been doing web development for close to 6 years now. I am looking into getting back into college to finish up my Bachelors Degree (and hopefully my Masters after that!) and would love to be aligned on the right path to give me the greatest odds of success. It has been my dream for years to work for NASA and am constantly amazed at all the new discoveries and world changing breakthroughs that are being achieved there. I know I am a little bit older and am already approaching at a disadvantage because of that, but I am very dedicated and will do everything I can just to have a shot at my dream.

I have done quite a bit of research on what degrees are appreciated/accepted at NASA and have decided on a Bachelors in Computational Science with a minor in Computer Science, then going back to get my Masters in Physics/Computer Science. Is this a good path?

Any advice you can offer me to align myself for the best opportunity to work for you guys would be greatly appreciated. I know my odds of achieving this goal are about 0.0004% but I couldn't die a happy old woman if I didn't try.
