Answer: to convince future astronauts to choose a career path based on their unique interests

Explanation:

In the interview with the aforementioned title, Eileen Collins gave the advice that young people aspiring to be astronauts should choose a career path that was based on their unique interests because they would be more likely to be effective at their job if they liked their job.

Using her field of Operations Research which had no prior astronauts as an example, she drove home that point. She however mentioned that a background in mathematics, science, or technology was mandatory regardless of the career path chosen.
