An Aerospace engineering degree does NOT limit you to the aviation industry only! Yes, there is Boeing and NASA and the likes. But MANY aero grads went into non-airplane related job with a degree in Aersopace.
Aerospace, at most places, is just like Mechanical engineering, except for about the last three semesters (out of eight).
So, the opportunities are limitless! Myself? I'm working as a structural engineer on ships. I know people who graduated with me (Aero eng grads) who are working in the automotive field as well.
Make no mistake, an Aerospace engineering degree is excellent! Even if aviation corporations like Boeing or Cessna aren't hiring, there are MANY companies who hire them all the time!
Don't include that in the, "dont get this degree, get a non-aviation degree" list.
You really can't go wrong with an Aerospace engineering degree. I'd highly recommend it, if you are good at math and physics.
