What’s it like being an aerospace engineer and would you recommend it?

5 Upvotes

So I had to change directions recently because of my health. I was in nursing school , and quickly found out that due to my health issues, I would not be able to be on my feet for such long hours. Also, I’m not sure that i want to be surround by sickness all day. So, I have been looking into other career paths. One of them being engineering. I’m particularly interested in biomedical, and aerospace. So I’m getting input from both groups.

What’s it like working in aerospace engineering? Are you satisfied with your lifestyle and job? Would you recommend it ? What do your daily tasks look like? What is your day to day like ? Any tips?

Colleges for Aerospace Engineering Undergrad

5 Upvotes

So as the title says Im planning on majoring in Aerospace engineering. I specifically want to do propulsion systems. Within the US i was looking at a few colleges such as Georgia Tech, CMU, Purdue, University of Alabama Huntsville, and stuff like that. I was wondering for abroad what colleges would be the best and provide me with sufficient opportunities for internships and jobs and hands on experience. I was looking at colleges like TU Munich, and more. I was also curious about the application process for these colleges abroad. Where would i submit the applications, on common app, or where? and what would the deadlines be?

Thanks

Any BAE Graduate Support Engineers here?

Hello peeps, is there anyone here who could answer some questions I have about this role/the interview process?

  1. What's the day-to-day work like?
  2. What type of technical questions should I be prepping for? I come from a non-engineering background and am not sure how deep/what exactly I need to be researching.

Working at Honeywell Aerospace

2 Upvotes

I have secured a second round interview within Supplier Development at Honeywell Aerospace.

My current job is nothing to write home about, long days, long commute, no support but… I have a decent standing and a direct line to upper management. It’s a shit show but I guess it’s my shit show.

A move to Honeywell Aerospace would be a huge improvement in terms of size of the company and not having to commute since it’s a remote role, but I am reluctant seeing all of the negative feedback on older posts on Reddit. Can someone give me some insights into how much culture has improved since the split from Honeywell?

For whatever reason I wasn’t provided with the benefit package for the role. Does anyone know what I can expect?

Are the chances of me getting a job in this industry dwindling as I get older?

I was hoping to get some advice from anyone. I would be extremely thankful.

Since my early 20’s I’ve been in pursuit of a job in software, specifically testing, but I am welcome to any position where I am hands on with tools in both hardware or software. I unfortunately don’t come from a background where life has been easy (I won’t bore you with the details). Life got in the way very early at the age of 15 and unfortunately, I had to make the hard decision of dropping out of high school to join the workforce (school is important but so is rent and food).

A few years ago, I decided to go back to school and I am now two physics courses away from getting my Associates degree in Computer Science. I also plan to transfer to a university to acquire my Bachelor’s. I have worked many jobs and worn many hats throughout the years whether it’s desk jobs, industrial, customer service, etc. But most of my experience is in the industrial industry. I have also been building my portfolio of side projects for many years; mostly python and also have been dabbling in electronics.

I am not the smartest person, but I currently hold a 3.7 GPA, and don’t remember the last time I’ve worked a 40 hour work week, so I can only take 1 class a semester otherwise I risk failing. I’m now 31, and feel like I’m not doing enough to make it in this industry.

I’ve applied to many entry level positions and internships, but I’ve had no luck (I’m in the Long Beach area so that gives you an idea as to where I have been applying). Is there any advice you would give someone like myself? Anything would be appreciated.

Thank you all.

P.S. I apologize for the long post.
