Definitely. Aerospace work means she’s going to be in a lot of varied/far flung places, so learning to negotiate for flexible enough hours not to feel isolated is a skill to start polishing.

Good lord, if I had interest from NASA or SpaceX I would be there in a minute. You can keep in touch with friends and family with Facebook until you have new friends where you are.

Also, STOP HOVERING and let her grow up already.

Don’t put your GPA on your resume. It makes you look junior and highlights your experience being mostly educational as opposed to work force. Source: I’m a hiring manager.

It’s the very same people who say ‘why didn’t he just comply’ that are the first to say the ‘cops feared for their lives.’

Hi, dears.

I chose taxes because they provide INFRASTRUCTURE. So congrats on having your phone bill paid—public schools and libraries are now DEAD (along with the middle class and public transit).
