Mechanical vs. Aerospace

I was a manager for one of the large aerospace firms. I hired many college grad engineers. Vary few (and not that I can recall off the top of my head) actually had degrees in aerospace engineering. By far more were mechanical engineers but there were all kinds of engineering represented. I have a degree in civil engineering and have always worked in the aerospace world doing launch vehicle and spacecraft structural analysis.

One of the oddest was an employee who went back to school to get his MS in agricultural engineering. Turns out that that was where the mechanisms classes that he wanted to pursue as a career were.

It doesn’t matter what the title of the degree is. What matters is the class content as it relates to the specific job you want. And aerospace involves all kinds of specialties.

P.S. boneh3ad will never have to pay anyone those boneh3ad dollars!!
