Hi, I am a College (Sixth Form) student here in the UK aspiring to go into Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering but not quite sure which one to go into.
As far as interest is concerned, I think I am leaning more toward Aerospace than Mechanical but I've heard that an Aerospace degree would not be as versatile/marketable as a Mechanical one and that Mechanical Engineers can go into the Aerospace industry but Aerospace Engineers are pretty constrained compared to Mechanical Engineers; I am not sure about the veracity of that but I know that the degree content is quite similar anyway in which case, if it really makes a significant difference, I think I could sacrifice interest for a better career opportunity.
Ive done well academically so far (6 A*s, 4 As at GCSE and just got my As results: 5 As) so getting into a good University won't be a problem. I just need some advice, thanks
