My son has been accepted into the Aerospace program for the class of 2024.
However he still hasn’t quite decided what program he wants to major in. A few months ago he was very excited about an Aerospace major, but now he’s getting worried about career prospects after he graduates. So he’s trying to decide between doing Aerospace at UIUC, or going in as Engg Undeclared at Penn State or Colordo Boulder and then doing some other engg program like Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Science for which job prospects might be better.
Can anybody provide some information on career prospects for UIUC graduates from Aerospace Engineering? We can see from their website that 100+ students graduate from the Undergraduate AE program every year. Surely not all of them go to exciting companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin or NASA? So what do most of these folks do after graduating?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
