Hi all,

I am currently in high school right now and am planning to major in aerospace engineering. I wanted to know if there would be any prospect for employment following a degree in aerospace (BS but maybe PhD) in the Austin area. I realize this is a hard question to answer as I will be out of college in 6 years (BS, ~9-10 years if PhD) and after research I find that aerospace jobs are hard to predict because they’re in a “cyclical industry.” (Can someone explain exactly what this means and how it will affect job prospects). Again I know it’s hard to predict but help would greatly be appreciated.
