Undergrad here, is doing a PhD for spacecraft GNC really the move or should I just go and get an industry job in the MIC? I've always wanted to do space shit but it seems like we're getting destroyed by China + funding has been axed everywhere + I had a crisis of faith yesterday, I'm doing this engineering dynamics summer class and spent 8 hours on the last pset just to get 55% on it, then I check my email and get this from some random student who emailed the entire fucking class:

> It was fun having to know each and everyone of ya'll. I hope ya'll have a great summer. This class reminded me of how stupid and retarded the educational system really is. I really think some people are destined for greatness in life, my brother in law got 20 million dollars in his account with a math level of college algebra. I showed him some of stuff we being doing in this class, he took the bullshit physic problems and started wiping his ass. Took out his wallet and start throwing $100 billed and said, Fuck that shit, my time are more valuable lmfao

I'm fucking demoralized honestly, do I just wimp out and become a defense contractor for the paycheck??
