Do you like physics?
I is a rokit sientist!
I've always had a huge fascination with aircraft growing up and I'm currently planning to go back to college.
I originally planned to go for a Computer Science degree but I'm a little curious about the Aerospace Engineering degree now.
Anyone here have one of these degrees or work in this field?
Never really taken any physics courses before. My wife just graduated with an Applied Physics degree and some of the things she talked about were interesting though.
What does she do with a degree in Applied Physics?
Just curious why she did not get an Engineering degree.
They didn't have an official engineering degree at the university she attended. Most of the people she graduated with applied for masters programs at other universities to become engineers. More than likely she will have to do the same but will have to wait until next year due to missing the deadlines.
She loved her classes but regrets getting a degree in Applied Physics.
Yeah, that's kind of the reason I was asking. I have a nephew who got an Applied Physics degree a couple of years ago. He's still trying to figure out what he's going to do now as he has not been able to find a job.
heard N̶A̶S̶A̶ Boeing is hiring.
I have an aerospace engineering degree.
The job market isn't as bad as some may suggest, but you are limited to the places you can live. See where the jobs are before you commit.
Computer engineering are a lot more broad and you have a lot more job options. Not saying that's a reason to chose it if aerospace is what you want, but if you are 50/50 one way or the other I'd suggest strongly considering the more broad applicability of a compute engineering degree.
If you have the inclination to do computer engineering with some aero electives that could be cool. As more and more drones are deployed there will be a growing demand for people who understand flight and how to program computer software.
Good luck.
Ya this is exactly what I was thinking. Most of the aerospace companies like Lockheed Martin are in larger cities like the Dallas area from my understanding. I figure with a CS degree I'd have a better chance finding a job in smaller towns if I'd like.

I'd strongly consider a Computer Engineering degree over a CS degree. I may be slanted on this because my CE friends knock CS people. But I would think a CE degree plus some aero classes would be worth considering.
As for jobs, there are concentrations of them in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area, Seattle, Wichita, KS and then a few other places.
