Enjoy what u are doing.
Have fun along the way.
Learn something in the company of like minded people.
Find the venue in rocketry u enjoy the most.... i.e. scale,2-stage, building, electronics, big motors, small rockets... launch camaraderie, where ever the road takes u.
Being an engineer , I might think u would travel the path of perfection in most aspects of this endeavor, and functionality, of how the all the parts, make the whole thing work.
The path u take is unlimited in choice and variety, and u are doing so in these wonderful times of space exploration and travel.
Each Level exposes u to more complexity and more things learned. Once u achieve L-3, u have opened the doors to go anywhere u wish and build what ever u want. Skies and wallet are the only limits.
Just remember this:
have fun AND it's a rocket....what possibly could go wrong!
Finally, there will be flights when things do go wrong, that may seem un-explainable. Here is where your engineering background will drive u nutz till u figure it out, sometimes u never will. It happens to all of us that have been at it a long, long time, Even professionals.
