Debating between engineering majors.

<p>I recently have decided to switch to engineering as a major for my undergraduate. I was persuaded by various math professors who worked as engineers in the aerospace field. One was an applied math major, and the other was an electrical engineer. </p>

<p>My goal would be the same. I would love to work in aerospace. It is, however, my understanding that aerospace is a more specialized version of MechE and is not the most stable field. </p>

<p>I've researched the topic a bit, and am indecisive. For job security and prospects would it be better to get my undergrad in aerospace and my graduate in mech or my undergrad in mech and graduate it aerospace? I'm not opposed to any other engineering field as they are all fascinating to me, so if there is a better route I'd be open to that. Clearly with my professors experiences alone, the field is filled with various majors. I just want to make sure I'm picking the one with the best prospects. </p>

<p>If it makes a difference, my school is UT-Austin. </p>

<p>Get your B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, it is more general and offers broader job opportunities. Then work for a few years, possibly in the Aerospace industry, they hire from all engineering disciplines. Once you have a few years of work experience, you can decide if a Masters in Aerospace is really worthwhile or if there is a superior path to take.</p>
