<p>Thanks for the replies but just one question still unanswered, the salaries. I am interested in the Aerospace field and I am pretty sure I want to work in this industry. I realize that I shouldn’t base my decision on money but there seems to be a big difference if I will be doing the same work and learning very similar things in school.</p>
<p>So if I become a Mechanical Engineer working in the Aerospace Industry will I earn around $100,000 a year or $80,000. This information is coming from many sites I’ve checked on average salaries for the occupations. Is the lower salary due to the fact that Mechanical Engineering is more general and wide-spread. There are Mechanical Engineers working in all different types of industries that just pay less. Or do all the Mechanical Engineers get paid the same.</p>
<p>Basically my question is, do Mechanical Engineers working in the Aerospace Industry earn the same amount as as the Aerospace Engineers? Or will the Mechanical Engineer still be paid the same as average salary for Mechanical Engineers in other industries?</p>
