My nephew has an Electrical Engineering BS from Vanderbilt, he got hired by Space X right after graduation and is doing very well for himself.
That's awesome

alot of people are going to tell you to go into aerospace but if you talk to people at nasa or at spacex( i have done both) they will tell you 100% get mechanical
Same, my cousin working at the Alabama site has a BSME and a MSME

From reading the OP, you would greatly benefit from a remedial writing course. Might want to master the basics before charting a course for the stars.
Nice rage bait lol.
SpaceX, Blue Origin and Relavtivity are up there as well as I have a couple connections to them

Cover letter obviously had much more than just that lmao
Thanks
Also yeah I have a friend at GA Tech going for aero, I would've applied if I'd have known this is what I would land on for my degree.

Definitely the first bullet, growing up being an astronaut was always my dream and I loved space, and obviously becoming an astronaut isn't a very secure career plan, but I really just want to work for a BIG company like NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin or Lockheed

More so just working for a space oriented company. In my spacex internship cover letter I wrote something along the lines of wanting "to play a role in this century's advancement of human technology and spaceflight history." My cousin just graduated from ULL with a masters in ME and got a job testing materials for NASA in Alabama. This was part of the inspiration for my late switch. I did also plan on adding a minor in aerospace engineering. As for ME jobs in space companies I haven't had trouble finding ME internships to apply to, so I figured the jobs were there.
Are LSU Mechanical Engineering degrees respected?

My first semester's been a bit interesting. I changed majors from neuroscience during welcome week after finding out the neuroscience degree here honestly isn't worth shite since its just another psychology degree, and ended up switching to mechanical engineering. I'm passionate about it and love what I'm getting myself into, but my goals are to work for NASA or other space companies. If that fails, at least I'll have oil and petro to fall back on, but with the thought of transferring to a better school, are these goals obtainable? I know many people say that LSU MSME degrees hold weight with the right internships, but are the LSU connections and possible internships worth it considering a school like Purdue or Texas A&M are subjectively better engineering schools?
As of now I'm doing a research program under LaSPACE funded by NASA, so I'm thinking thats a good foot in the door and now I'm just applying for summer internships.
Thanks
