i am a rocket scientist supporting missile defense programs for a university-affiliated research center

Do you work at UDRI or AFRL by any chance?

Because I'm also a rocket scientist. I design polymers and composites for use on rockets, missiles and other aircraft. But I get paid peanuts for being the industry expert in my field.
