Hiya everyone...

I have a question for anyone with 2 cents' worth to give....

I just graduated week before last with my 2 year degree in local area network management, and am now working on my Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering.

Originally, my first major was Astronomy, but, like with most people, my major changed a few times, but I still like astronomy and space. While now a computer engineering major with a 2 year in networking, what are some space/astronomy based companies (other than NASA, but I am looking at United Space Alliance, as per Kim Keller's advice) that I should look start checking into for career opportunities?

Does anyone have any recommendations for companies that are willing to sponsor an employee with a BS through their MS or higher, or offers other benefits for post-grad studies?

I'm looking for "insider" opinions and experiences, not so much where to go to get info from a company's web site, etcetera.

Thanks for any advice...
