Is it more practical for me to become an aerospace engineer or a mechanical engineer ?

I've dreamed of making rovers and even designs for them to launch into space and discover new things in different planets. I recenetly went to a college fair where engineer professionals and college proffersors were presents and I had asked about a specific aerospace program to one for the college representatives. The representative told me that since aerospace engineering is such a niche career it isn't as practical to become one. He told me that a mechanical engineer is more likely to enter into space organizations (such as NASA and SpaceX) than a aerospace engineer. It left me with lingering thoughts of wether I should still focus of aerospace or view mechanical engineering as an alternative.

Will the significant advance in technology/space exploration, mean that the demand of aerospace engineers will grow?

I was wondering since all this technology is rapidly changing will affect the job outlook of aerospace engineers. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, the job outlook was slower than average. Will this statistic change in the next couple of years? #engineering #technology #job #aerospace #future #outlook
