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
