Can anybody tell me what the life of a aerospace engineer is like

AI Thread Summary
The life of an aerospace engineer involves a mix of typical engineering responsibilities rather than the glamorous stereotypes often portrayed. Job satisfaction varies greatly and is influenced by factors such as workload and pay. While some may joke about the lifestyle, the reality includes serious work and potential challenges. A degree from a reputable institution like Embry-Riddle can lead to opportunities, but experience is crucial for higher earnings. Overall, aerospace engineering is a demanding field that requires dedication and expertise.

Physics news on Phys.org


From what I can tell it's booze, chicks and millions of dollars. Ask Minger.

Seriously, they're just like any other engineer. There are so many different factors that go into job satisfaction and enjoyment. Was there anything in particular you were wondering about, like work load, pay, etc...?
 


Work load and Pay, I'm a junior in high school and plan on attending Embry-Riddle aeronautical University
 


Fred,

don't forget the fame, respect, and world recognition

Well I was shot at on occasion, but that's probably more a function of what I did after I earned my degree rather than my specific degree, itself.

You pretty much hit the nail right on the head. The booze is malt liquor, the chicks are the eldery women in HR, and millions of dollars is actually pesos...if you have experience.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
