Aeronautical Engineering

Hello Jay,
Aeronautical engineering is one of the most challenging branches of engineering. It has a wide scope of growth in the field of engineering. This field is concerned mostly with the technical as well as the mechanisms of the flying aircrafts. This is an emerging field and deals with the development of new technologies in aviation and defence systems. This field mainly consists of the construction, designing, working, testing, operation, maintenance of the space crafts, satellites, missiles, space vehicles, etc.
As for the job opportunities are concerned, well there is reservation everywhere but this does not restrict you from getting good job opportunities provided you have a good academic track record and fulfil other requisites as required by the companies based on the vacancies available.
Hope this helps.
Wish you luck.

Cons: Low starting pay (expect $12-15/hr nationally), high labor, high levels of responsibility, almost no room for error, poor union representation (if you even have a union), constant time crunch to "get the job done" by leads and supervisors, pressures from your bosses to deviate from the book, work long hours, work nights, weekends, and holidays, working in extreme heat and cold, working in confined spaces, high probability for layoffs, high probability of having to move (sometimes out-of-State) to find a job, but the biggest stress will always be "when will the plane be done"?
I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone that doesn't absolutely love aeroplanes and aviation. I love what I do and I wouldn't change it for the world, but that passion has to be there for the pros to outweigh the cons. You have to protect your license like it is your life. Don't back down to anyone trying to make you do something you're not comfortable with, and don't deviate from the manuals to satisfy anyone.
