<p>I can't decide on which one to put as my first choice on the application. I want to major in aeronautical and just work on planes, but I don't know what job oppportunities there will be later. Mechanical is a safe choice, but I don't really want to learn anything else that doesn't relate to planes. I know I'll at least get a job. any advice, so what should I do?</p>
<p>Hypothetically, you can get a degree in both, if you choose your school carefully. Some programs allow you to get a BS in both because many of he classes overlap.</p>
<p>However, I would choose Mechanical.</p>
<p>Mechanical is traditionally the safer major but it seems that you really want to focus on ASE and don't want to waste your time studying anything else.</p>
<p>With that said--go ASE and excel in it.</p>
<p>maybe I should just flip a coin lol. If I do major in mech, then will I still be able to get a job in the aerospace industry just like I would if I had an aerospace degree?</p>
<p>Well, it depends on the job...many MEs do work in Aerospace though.</p>
<p>If all you want to do is work with planes, then I don't see why this is a hard decision. Go with AE.</p>
<p>If you are absolutely sure you want to work in the Aero industry then do AE. I always recommend Mechancal Engineering to those who are not 100% sure.</p>
<p>If you want to work in the Aerospace Industry and exclusively on planes,</p>
<p>an ASE degree would be better than a ME. </p>
<p>If you have any seed of doubt that you don't--go ME. </p>
<p>Yes, with an ME you can still be hired to do Aerospace work but I can imagine you would be at a disadvantage compared to an ASE grad.</p>
