      The trump administration has kinda ruined the Aerospace field for a while. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

      Ontop of that, the push to commercialize space has kind of made doing it a lot less satisfying.

      Can I join in on this dream? Aerospace really tickles my fancy, but it feels impossible to get a job in it that’s not destroying the environment and/or making bigger bombs.

      So you want to work in Becky Chambers’ To Be Taught, If Fortunate.
      I couldn’t have come up with a better pitch for the book.
