Thanks so far for the responses guys. It would be a lie for me to say money is secondary in my career choice, but its not most important. Ive given thought to the armed forces as my dad was a crew chief in the Air Force. Not sure if i want to go that route though being about 2 years away from graduating, once i make up my mind
As an aerospace engineer, what all is entailed in your job? ive been trying to get some insight as to what engineers are doing. I talked with the high performance engineer at Toyo last month, and its not really what i thought. He is more of just a trend spotter. He told Japan that america needs drag radials, so their engineers came up with something. He told Japan that they needed tires for drifting so they came up with something. Not really what i was hoping to see. Thought it was going be a little more hands on, not relaying info.
Anyway, keep the answers coming. Also interested in people who went the business route too. Bottom line is i dont think i could put up with being a desk jocky.
