Hi everyone!
I'm entering university next year for mechanical, but recently discovered that I may be more interested in making airplanes than robots or engines. But if someone can elaborate on what kind of stuff mechanical engineers do, it would be great as my exposure to engineering is quite limited. In terms of math and physics, do aerospace/mechanical differ in any way?
Will I be at a disadvantage if I'm trying to get into the industry with a mechanical degree as opposed to aerospace? My rationale is that if I don't make it into the aerospace industry (heard it was quite limited), at least I can fall back on manufacturing... I was thinking of transferring after second year or even going for a Masters in Aerospace if landing a job in the industry will be significantly harder with a mech degree...
