Hi, im in my final year of high school and Im either going to go into Aerospace Engineering or Electrical Engineering or Astrophysics.
Ive been accepted to them all, but i dont know what to do! Is it hard to get a job in the aerospace field with the economy the way it is? My dream is to work for NASA or the Canadian Space Agency, or any other aerospace company if that doesnt work out (Boeing, Bombardier etc. etc.). If anyone has any thoughts about which of these programs gives me the best chance, and what the job market is like, and even if i should pursue a Masters prior to going job hunting, please let me know!
Thanks
Engineering ones, yes. Astrophysics no, unless you go to Caltech.
If you are a Canadian citizen, even though you could qualify for a TN Visa in the USA, you will net be allowed to work in anything to do with aviation or space until you become a US citizen.
I am a Canadian EE working in LA since 2001 and I am still a good 10 years from being able to get US citizenship. But then I work designing equipment for the professional audio industry.
I still get a little jealous when I drive past a Boeing plant though.
