I am currently studying aerospace engineering at UCLA and was wondering if anyone had any good advice to securing a good job after college. I am going to start interning in the winter, but need some advice on what companies to look into for a good aerospace job. I found one site that lists all the http://www.ranker.com/list/aerospace-engineering-companies/reference" , but I want some advice on what companies to pursue. Anything would help and I greatly appreciate it. Cheers!

It is my opinion that commercial spaceflight will be a burgeoning industry in the next few decades.

To follow up on this, go and check out Scaled Composites! No really, just google or wiki that company and tell me if you're not excited.

Interesting. I'm glad someone is doing it. NASA has had a monopoly on spaceflight for too many decades. Unfortunately, it has become a cumbersome government bureaucracy resistant to change.
