Similar to my son. We also encouraged him to pursue an aerospace engineering degree because it played to his academic strengths and his personal interests. Whether he ever works in the aerospace industry is irrelevant because the basis problem-solving and team-work skills that he has acquired will serve him in many industries. His summer internship this year is in software development, and not at all related to aviation, and he remarks on how the disciplines share the same processes. But if he had not chosen an aerospace-related course of study, say had had to study geotechnical engineering, I’m not sure he would have stayed interested or done as well academically as he has studying subjects that he’s passionate about.</p>
