Computational vs Aerospace

[simba9]

Also I’m starting to notice that the focus of the thread is in aerospace industries. While a job for someone like NASA would certainly be fascinating (and cliche) I don’t want to be so constricted in my job opportunities and want to have as many fallbacks as possible.

That’s one of the reasons I suggested Computational Engineering over Aero. You’ll have more opportunities, overall.

My core point was that there are fewer aerospace engineering graduates, so it should be no surprise that there are fewer aerospace engineers working at these companies.

So then my question to you is - Why are there fewer aerospace engineering graduates? Might it not because students know opportunities to work in aerospace engineering are limited, so they major in something else?
