I would sweep floors, take out the trash, clean the bathrooms, cut the grass, get everyone coffee, clean the offices....whatever it would take just to get my foot in the door at RAF and work my way up!!!!

@Tio2Man1969 I would do the same -- would be a good exercise in humility -- to get a foot in the door at Scaled Composites as I would love to work on building manned space vehicles with a genius like Burt Rutan. It would certainly be worth the effort to gain such a great privilige of being on the cutting edge of space exploration.
