Sweet Dreams are Made of These

Since I was in 4th grade, I knew what I wanted to with my life; Aerospace Engineering. Now as a junior in college, I'm making that dream more specific. I want to work for Scaled Composites. I know it's not going to happen for 5-10 years, but I now have my next goal.

If all these Liberal Arts clowns are lauded for being so idealistic and wanting to change the world, why can't I? Save the whales, rain forests, end domestic abuse, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, care for the poor? Good for you, but I'd rather work for the man who allowed us to circumnavigate the globe, who is making space flight routine. I can only imagine what else he's cooking up.

And what better place to work for a guy who hates people than the middle of the Mojave Desert?

If you do go work there, do you think you could figure out how to loan me a rocket? I swear I'll give it back.

But hey, then you'll have to be in California- how do you feel about that?

My only beef with California is the hippies, and they don't travel out to the desert, it's bad for their skin.

Scaled Composites doesn't really have rockets, but I could get you some authentic "stiff as a board, light as a feather" fuselage sections...and probably some Jet A, if you really want it.
