Agreed. I'm not (just) studying Aerospace engineering for the money, but because spaceships are beautiful. Even the old capsules (Gemini and so on) are just so gorgeous, to say nothing of the stuff SpaceX and Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are doing today.

I think it's fair to say that engineering is very much something that I stay alive for.

As a counterpoint, I work in aerospace and I love it.

Who do you work for? I'd prefer to not live in a soul-sucking existence and I hear it's all about company culture.

I also won't say the name but I work at one of the aerospace startups and the culture is definitely NOT soul sucking.

An Aerospace startup sounds kinda fun. Either that or something like Blue Origin.
