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.
What are some major companies that work with aerospace engineering?
I am currently interested in aerospace engineering. However, I don't know many aerospace engineering companies. Does this mean it will be difficult to find a job in this path. #engineering #career-path #aerospace #companies
