I, for one, am a third world underage ban. But I spend about half of my free time studying, on the Kindle I bought the other day, I threw all the programming and science textbooks (Textbooks, not pop-sci) on it, read all I can, and I'm going to try to get into the US and study Aerospace Engineering. A job at SpaceX would be ideal, but sitting in front of a CAD program designing aerodynamic car tires wouldn't be too bad.

But I want to have the knowledge to, say, build a rocket: That's more important than actually building one, because if I have the knowledge, I can contribute to the Open Space Movement. Ever heard of that video explaining the behavioural psych behind motivation, that makes free and open-source projects succeed? That's what I want to see happening, in space, for all Mankind.
