Australian citizen, thinker, has an idea that to save the world while turning a profit simultaneously stimulating growth and providing quality employment isn't a impossible feat of engineering.

I know too good to believe your probably thinking who does this plebe think he is?.

You guys are not fucking special. OH WOW you're an accountant and you barely make it over 6 figures, nobody fucking cares. You brag about being an accountant like it's as prestigious as being a doctor or something. Get the fuck out of here with that gay bullshit.

Separate the disciplines, the ChemE, MechE, AeroE fields etc. are very different from each other and will have very different experiences and advice.

I really want to work at space x but live in Ilinois i Have shit grades currently in high school (18)
i dont know all that much about engineering i know a bit of cad and I know a lot on how rocket engines work I just don't necessarily know the math to /sci/ id be a dumb ass, but im guessing you dont have to be that much of an autist to be a propulsion Engi so idk what to do I really want to work on Space Xs new Raptor engines and MCT so badly

Should I only do a Professional Physics degree and go into kickass research or get a Physics/Engineering duel degree and have an increased chance of getting a great job with good pay?

Do phys/engineering, if you really really like what you learn then you can always do a physics phd and proceed to research.
