<p>I don’t know about aerospace too much, but as mentioned above, I’d imagine Los Angeles as having one of the largest aerospace industries…Northrop grumman, raytheon, boeing, lockheed, all have offices in that area, particularly in proximity to LAX.</p>
<p>For civil engineering, as mentioned above, jobs are abundant everywhere. In particular though, living in one of the major coastal cities such as SF, LA, or NYC are definitely good bets. Some of the mid-sized prestigious structural engineering firms only hold offices in these global cities. At least that’s the impression I get…correct me if im wrong</p>
<p>Also, I know civil engineering is one of the lowest paying jobs of the engineering disciplines — but I believe structural engineers (a subset of civil engineers) get paid a bit more? does anyone have any info about this?</p>
