Summary:: I would like to get a career in commercial space technology and business and that is why i started my 2nd bachelors in aeronautics at the age of 30 three years early. I am about to complete my bachelors in aeronautical science from Embry riddles world wide. I don't know what next to get a hands on in order to work in aerospace rocket industry.

Yes it all sounds exciting to apply for spacex, or others. But I am just a a guy with management experience just started coding and may end up getting my private license, some python experience and some rocket lab experience in joining the local rocket clubs. I am really interested in Rocket Guidance Navigation and control and would like to venture and build an enterprise that would help the commercial space industry for small and long rand rockets, transport vehicle and or other orbital GNV. What should I Do next.
Thank you
Aero Txm

If you broaden your interest to include autonomous drones, you will vastly increase the application possibilities. Rockets are for a few huge government/private programs, but drones will be everywhere, produced by everyone.
