Employers: How important is school ranking when hiring?

Hello, I am currently in high school and I want to study mechanical engineering to hopefully break into aerospace. I would like to work for JPL or Boeing in the future but I cannot afford to attend colleges out of state (where it has much better rankings) because of how expensive everything is as well as family related issues. I do have a chance to attend an in-state school but, it is a lower ranked school nationally and I am worried that it might hinder some opportunities to advance in my future career. So, I am hoping to obtain sound advice using this website as the people I have talked to haven’t been much of a help. Is college ranking a determining factor of whether of not someone can be successful in the field of engineering? Thank you.

After going to college is it hard to find a great engineering job that pays well? and are they stable jobs?

I was wondering were the jobs for engineering anything like construction jobs. I ask this because I heard construction jobs are not stable jobs and you could get fired if the sight was closed down. I also wanted to know were engineers well needed jobs in the world because I don't want to study something and then not be able to find a great paying job. #architect #mechanical-engineer #architectural

How beneficial would a minor in Mathematics be as a Mechanical Engineering major?

I'm a junior currently attending Astate CQ and I wanted to get some advice about minoring in math or maybe even in business. I would like to know in what direction would I be heading towards having these types of minors. Also, how should I chose between those minors or should I also open up to the idea of other minors? Any advice is appreciated​, thank you. #engineering #math #mathematics #mechanical-engineer #major #college-major #minor
