Hi guys, I hope I can explain my situation well enough and get some good feedback on what to do.
I graduated with a Bachelors in Economics, at the age of 24, started college late due to some financial hardship. I've been working for two years now, and I'm at a crossroads on what to do next.
I really don't find myself as fascinated with finance, in fact I routinely study rocket engine design and as a hobby have taken up building my own liquid propellant rocket engine. Check out Copenhagen Suborbital, great bunch of guys trying to send a man into sub orbit.
The next step would be for me to go and get a masters in finance ie. MBA but I'm not so sure about that anymore.
I took cal 1 and cal 2 and physics 1 and physics 2 and chem 1 and chem 2. I found calc to be quite easy actually. I struggled in my liberal arts courses and my gpa was a 3.2. Calc and physics being the only classes that I got an A in, in my entire college career.
I don't doubt my aptitude but if I apply to college know, I will be 27 when I start and spend about 3 years graduating and be done by 30.
I worry that at 30, with no work experience that I will have a tough time finding a job.
My end goal is to spend time in design and research, being able to test new materials and systems for propulsion in rockets and jet engines.
I envision it would almost be fun to come into work and fire up the CAD and go to work, as if everyday was creative and new.
Anyway, I hope I can get some guidance and opinions.
Thank you
