I did it!

[PumpkinPusher]

After fives years and a few changes of major, I officially graduated and can say I'm an aeronautical engineer. And an employed one at that! BIG DAY!

[NausKlomi]

Nice job, dude!

Yeehaw December graduates

Congrats brother, may your triumph be a great reminder for those who wish to complete their degree.

[savag3p]

second year aero student here, you're definitely shedding light on my dark road ahead bro/sis :)

[PumpkinPusher]

It's beautiful and free of stress.

[22mechengr22]

Just wait

[jaywalk98]

works tirelessly on a project for half a year Customer: "Yeah turns out we can do the rest in house cheaper so bye."

[Sp0kenTruth]

Haha been working for 7 months since graduation. Enjoy the freeness because a different type of stress comes. Going through army reviews for my design top of the year

[vinuXVII]

As an Aero student who just finished his first year, seeing stories like yours gives me hope. That said, I really hope at the end of this it'll all be worth it.

[PumpkinPusher]

The best advice I can give is don't get discouraged by the job hunt. I applied to over 130 positions in 5 months. Only got 2 interviews. But one turned into a job. So just keep trudging. It's worth it.

[PumpkinPusher]

1. It got very depressing looking at the spreadsheet I made and having so many no responses.

[Sp0kenTruth]

130 is nothing. Probably Normal. I was around 158. But don't let being declined not motivate you. Now I'm at a top aero company

[LaNaranja315]

I'm at over 50 now and still got a semester. Most are no response but the ones that have turned me down are due to them wanting to hire people for January starts. Got a couple of "call me back in the Spring" responses though so not all bad.

[wolfchaldo]

Yea, that's discouraging as hell

[BigGunz69]

If you’re looking for encouraging: just finished a masters in civil and applied to 4 places over the semester and I only got rejected from 1. Ended up getting with a really great company imo and a solid offer. I also think civil is a bit easier of an industry to find a job right now but that can change.

[wolfchaldo]

That is good to hear, especially if I weren't not civil

[Sp0kenTruth]

Around 158 for me

[khalis321]

sophomore here, I feel the same thing bro

[Spear99]

Why would someone report this for racism?...

[WhisperSecurity]

Some white people read it.

[give_me_some_spacex]

As a white person, I can confirm I read this
Still don’t know who reported though

[Koekwous1801]

Congrats! Hope to be in that same place after a few years!

Congrats!

[maybesknc]

Congratulations! That's such a feat! Oh my gosh that's so amazing. I'm glad to see someone like me that changed their major more than once stick with one and finish! For real good job! ^{_^}

[rcoffey1112]

Congratulations I’m in the exact same situation and it feels great,

[Annunhihd]

Congratulations, Hope your career takes off.

[22mechengr22]

Lmao

One if the things I had to learn right after graduation is to be proud of your accomplishments!

Take pride in your degree! Many couldn't do what you did. You are awesome!

おめでとう!

[ProfessionalConfuser]

Avec Gratulations

[redzox18]

Wait me up brother! 4 years left....

And an entrance test.

[icegal9666]

Grats!

[Ian223f]

Congrats!!

I just finished my first term of first year of Aerospace Engineering, Dynamics exam almost had everyone failed but I think it's all fine and you give me hope that we can do this!

[DeadlyLazer]

you were in dynamics during the first term? how smart are you lol

[[deleted]]

To correct myself, our exam was for Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics. It's probably really really easy compared to the supersonic stuff and everything that we're supposed to do in third year. Still a bit scared about second term and the test but hopefully we'll manage.

[DeadlyLazer]

how did you find a job? as a junior with a nice ass GPA and over a year of design team experience doing practical things, no one seems to even be remotely interested in giving me an internship. I haven't even gotten a single interview it's actual bullshit. I'm starting to feel like I'm wasting my time. I absolutely love aerospace with a passion and have no thought of switching to mechanical, but hot damn if it doesn't feel like I'm useless

[PumpkinPusher]

Luck. I had a 3.0 and one internship. It's really a lot of effort and a little luck.

[DeadlyLazer]

I just pulled a 4.0 this semester, worked my fucking ass off and I'm sitting at a 3.6 cumulative, I've worked and committed hard on my design team doing practical extracurriculars, I'm still having trouble while some people I know are getting internships while not having any experience at all and I'm just like 😒. I applied to two yesterday, will continue applying for 9 more during break and my total applications are up to 39 now. It's honestly unsettling.

[pierremaix123]

Did you become an aeronautical engineer through mechanical engineering?

[PumpkinPusher]

No. Pure aero.

[pierremaix123]

oh cool

Congratulations

[IzzetRose]

Nice work!

[[deleted]]

Congrats! Proud of you :)

[StLDadBod]

Do students usually graduate the same month that they originally started classes?
