[ANNOUNCEMENT] Changing Majors!

Hi guys.

A lot of you know I wanted to be a commercial airline pilot.

Well, after doing shitloads of toiling, and taking a Space Flight course, I made the decision that commercial aviation isn't what I want to spend my life in. No disrespect for commercial pilots, but I don't want a career that's going to leave me feeling like I'm in a rut. There's no room for creativity or individual thinking, and the whole environment is "my penis is bigger than yours", "NO I HAVE MORE FLIGHT HOURS MY PENIS IS BIGGER THAN YOURS." At least it is here, anyway.

So I talked about career options with my Space Flight professor and after much, much deliberation, I have made a decision.

My new major.

I am going to change from getting a BS in Aeronautical Science (with an airline pilot concentration) to getting a BS and a Master's in Aerospace Engineering (with a minor in flight and Space Studies).

I've decided that I want to do research and development of space crafts. I think that this is a much, much better career option for me - room for creativity, individual thinking, global cooperation, and the option to play with Space. Leetness.

I'll have to stay in college an extra 3 semesters, but I think it's small change. I'll graduate with a master's in engineering, so it'll be worth it.

I just wanted to share this exciting new development with you lot
