I’m graduating next spring with an Aerospace Engineering degree, and I was thinking of applying to grad school just to have some options. I would want to go to a program in the field of my minor, Aviation Safety. I have some questions if anyone could help. Thanks!

Can you be in a graduate program without doing any teaching? (more research or lab based)
Is a lot of merit-based aid given out? It would seem like a good deal if I wouldn’t have to pay a lot for it, but if it meant going into debt…finding a job is a much better option.
Does the GRE require a lot of studying, or does college coursework prepare you, or help?
