To become one, you would need at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field, with analytical thinking, writing abilities, and mathematics as some of your key skills. While this field does not have a vast job market as computing and information technologies, this field also sees a lot of overlap from a lot of different fields.
If it is the field of aerospace engineering that interests you and not the discipline, not to worry. The average space programme needs biologists, IT guys, managers, finance guys and many more kinds of professionals to run it. As it is a field that is based on innovation, there is room for a lot of interdisciplinary work.
