<p>My goal is to eventually work directly, or indierectly for the US military. I would like to do R&D for weapons, air craft and other such things. </p>
<pre><code> I would like to know what majors/minors I should take for this? Also any colleges you would reccomend for those majors. A reply would be greatly appreciated.

<p>Most engineering degrees have some applications.</p>
<p>Aeronautical, mechanical, and electrical are probably most applicable to aircraft design.</p>
<p>Chemical, electrical, or computer engineering would be appropriate for weapons design (and aero/mech).</p>
<p>Embry-Riddle, MIT, Cal-tech, Rose Hullman (sp?) would be good choices. Any of the service academies, could get you into that field (although more as a project manager, in most cases). If you went the Service Academy route, I would suggest either USAFA or USNA, as they tend to be more technical than the Army (in the R&D of complex weapons systems).</p>
<p>just a FYI, US citizenship will be required.</p>
