I am currently in the last stretch of my B.Sc in physics( in the U.S) and I am completely set on working for a company like Space-X, I have decided my life goal is to help advance humanity's exploration/colonization of space. That being said, does anyone work for Space-X or similar companies that could offer advice on how I could carve my path or have an edge landing a career there? I am very open to a variety of jobs, I just want to be a part of the progress. My current short term goal is to work as an entry level engineer while continuing my education with a M.Sc in material physics.

Thank you in advance

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that?
