Bachelor in Aerospace Engineering: Seeking Advice on Next Steps

In summary, the individual has completed their Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering but is unsure of their next step - pursuing a Master's degree or finding a job. They have looked for job opportunities in various regions but have encountered difficulties due to lack of experience or work permits. Suggestions are given to look for job opportunities in the west coast of the US or other states with a strong aerospace industry. It is also mentioned that aerospace graduates are sought after in other fields and gaining entry-level jobs or internships can lead to future opportunities in the desired field.

Try looking out on the west coast of the US (California) there are tons of Aerospace companies out there, same with Colorado, Florida, Alabama, and Texas. Even Ohio has Aerospace Jobs.

Maybe just try getting basic entry level jobs or even internships (which are often paid in the Aerospace industry) and when they see your skill set, then you will be able to move up.

Also, remember that Aerospace is a very versatile degree. My step father got an Aerospace degree, built helicopters for a while, and now is designing solar panels. Aerospace Engineers are very desirable in other fields because the degree shows that they are capable of learning new and complex things and becoming proficient at anything they are told to do. So take a look at companies that don't necessarily do rockets or planes. You are fresh out of college, so that first job will be the hardest to find. Your first job may not be very fun, but it is work experience. Once you do that first job for a few years, you will have that experience that the other companies are looking for, and will be able to get the kind of job you want.
