However, if you redirect your focus to your dream career, or your goal, instead of the interest in the class itself, you will see different results. School prepares you to learn fundamentals of subjects, but most importantly how to think critically. With a strong work ethic, determination, focus and teachability, you can still be a very strong candidate for NASA or anywhere else you desire.
