Hey everyone, I have another question for you. :D
Right now I am going into my senior year of high school, and I was wondering if I should get my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace. Eventually I want to work for a Formula 1 team as an aerodynamicist. I plan on getting a masters degree in aerospace either way. I'm not going to be able to just hop into F1 and work, and would have to work my up, proabably through other racing teams and leagues. So my question is, given that I want to work as an aerodynamicist for a racing team, should I go mechanical and then get a masters in aerospace, or aerospace all the way?
I wouldn't mind working on something else besides a race car, so if I didn't get to work for say F1, or some other racing establishment, which would provide the better job oppurtunities?
There is only one good school in my state that offers a degree in aerospace engineering (University of Michigan) which I am hoping I get into, because out of state is pretty expensive. So if I don't get in I would be doing mech probably at MSU then aero somewhere else, although I could do that at U of M...
Oh! One other question, how much of an aerospace engineering degree would I be able to apply to a race car?
Thanks for all the help. :D
