It seems that 'rocket scientist' is a job category that's here for the long haul, like 'mortician.' But all this activity masks an important point: rockets are not a terribly efficient way to lift things into space.

Time management is really key for me.

There are always roles that seem enticing that you can't do because of scheduling.

Careers very rarely are a waste of time; jobs usually are.

It's not easy to sustain a long career, and sometimes I don't even think about how long I've been doing it.

Everything is so fast now, everything is so disposable now, there's no time to build up a career like we used to have in the past.

Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.

I'm trying to cultivate a long-term career rather than get every job right this minute. That'd be putting too much pressure on myself. I'd go crazy if I thought like that.

The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down.
