Engineering What is the future of an Aerospace Engineer ?

AI Thread Summary
Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering each have distinct advantages and career paths. Mechanical Engineering offers broader job opportunities, including eligibility for aerospace roles. Aeronautical Engineering, while specialized, may lead to higher salaries during prosperous times, but job stability can fluctuate with industry conditions. Strong communication skills, particularly in English, are essential for success in these fields. The study demands significant commitment and is not suited for those seeking an easy college experience. Overall, prospective engineers should weigh their options carefully, considering job prospects, salary expectations, and the rigorous nature of the coursework.

First, with any field of engineering, you really need impeccable communications skills. If your first language is not English, you'll have to work harder to get ahead, because English is typically the language that many engineering fields use, particularly Aeronautical Engineering.

For some idea of what Aeronautical Engineers might make use a search engine and find out for yourself. Note however, that job stability in Aviation tends to be poorer than in many other Engineering endeavors. When times are good, you'll probably have a very nice salary. When times are not so good, well, you'd better have some savings ready to live off of.

The study for any engineering field requires commitment. If you're thinking this will be an easy way to get through college, this is not the course of study for you.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
