I'm at a point in my career where if I worked hard, I have like an 80% chance at landing a job at NASA after I graduate college, since my college has a link to NASA and most people who really want to work there can do it via this link. However, space isn't really one of my natural interests. Really, the reason it sounds appealing to me is because I don't want to work for a soulless corporation, and if I had a boring normalfag job at some top 500 company it would be hard to stay motivated. So even if I'm not automatically drawn to it, maybe it's worth pursuing. After all, even if I don't get the job, my resume will look a lot better from trying and I should be able to get something good anyway.

What do you think? Should I go for it?

Good points so far, but I would also like to add I'm 3/4 of the way into an engineering degree, and eventually you may realize the lucrative degree you chose is not something you're a natural fit for. This isn't to say "Do whatever you want" either because English majors have their own problems, but the point is try and find a compromise. If you're thinking of doing CS for instance, make sure you actually focus your first 1-2 years so you'll know if it's something you want to stick with. If not maybe switch majors. You can still make a living with humanities but you need to play your cards right.
