You don’t have to be a AAE (Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineer) to work in aerospace. Lots of opportunities for ME’s, EE’s, IE’s, even Computer Science within the aerospace industry.

Keep flexible - remember that there are not too many consultants, design firms or manufacturers outside the aero industry that look for aero engineers - other engineering disciplines can cross this boundary - just that they most likely would not be leading the design of flight systems, engines and vehicle designs.

Also note that a large proportion of C-Level executives have a background in engineering.

If you go economics, plan on continuing for masters and PhD.
