Programs  me with aerospace engineering major Decision

AI Thread Summary
A senior year student interested in aerospace engineering raises concerns about the lack of AP courses in their Turkish high school, questioning whether this will make the major too complex. The discussion emphasizes that while AP courses can be beneficial, they are not strictly necessary for success in aerospace engineering. The key takeaway is that passion for the subject is crucial; if the student truly enjoys aerospace, they will likely find the challenges manageable, regardless of their high school curriculum. Understanding complex concepts will be part of any major, and enthusiasm for the field can make the learning process smoother.

Hello,I am a senior year student and my intention is to study aerospace engineering.I saw on the internet that some AP courses were required in high school but I live in Turkey and we have two options in high schools either scientific or litterature fields and there is no option of taking AP classes.So I wonder if aero will be a too much complex major. For example according to our programme we learn about integrals in the senior year.

If you truly desire to major in aerospace go for it. AP or no AP, there are going to be some complex "things" in any major. If you truly enjoy it, studying and understanding it shouldn't be an issue.

I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
