Hi everyone, anyways I been facing one of the toughest decisions making of my life. I recently graduated of my master's degree in a related field in Aerospace. But I feel to me I lack certain skills that I am going to need in the industry so I decided that I am going back to university for Aerospace Engineering, I have always wanted to get into Aerospace (Space) but the problem was that I lacked confidence in myself and all and for most of my life I was a slow learner not realizing of my skills or not believing in myself. Till then I regained confidence and determination and thought this is what I want in my life, but it came with a hefty price of my age. Also, that I been working in Retail for a long time but its due to me being in school for a long time. But now that I finished my grad school I want to move on and go for my passion. By the way I don't like Retail, but it's the only thing I have at the moment sadly.

Alot of people have told me I have passion, I have a lot of potential to be in Aerospace which I do I love vehicles, I love airplanes, rockets and spaceships and I want to go for Aerospace engineering, but I feel frustrated in that I am not where I want to be at. I love machines more, I don't like dealing with people but want to work in cool projects in a team. Just I am not a customer service person I am more of a project, technical, engineering manager kinda guy.

I got hit by the engineering bug later in life, which I feel great but at the same time, through my master's degree and the topics I was learning my confidence came back, I feel concerned in that did I made a mistake? With what I did in the past and me being a slow learner.

The thing that concerns me is of my age, I am 37 at the moment and I been applying like crazy to the Aerospace/ Defense contractors for a long time now and not much happens which worries me a lot. The thing is that I want to go for my goals but is limited and want to go further.

By the way I cannot join the military because of my health conditions and all, so please don't recommend me to being enlisted.

The thing is I want to progress but feel that I am stuck at the moment which frustrates and stresses me out I am not where I want to be and want to learn more but is limited.
