Where did your son study?
A small specialized engineering college called Capitol Technology university in Laurel, MD.
They are truly geek school. Cyber Security, Electrical Engineering and Astronautical Engineering are their main fields of study. Very very little PC nonsense. Most of the students seem to be apolitical or conservative.
The college is located between Fort Meade (NSA) and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center so it’s perfectly located for students to intern and work at these facilities.
It’s unknown outside the industry yet highly regarded by those who are hiring.
My kid wanted to work at NASA building rockets since he was six. When he was a Junior in college, he got a job at NASA controlling a solar observatory and taking pictures of the sun. He’s working on another mission now, flight operations for a small satellite array.
