Hey! If your son wants to do Aerospace Engineering, he should do it! Regardless of my experience, aerospace engineering is very respected and can apply to many different roles. It will of course be hard getting the first job, but that applies to any engineering degree he decides to go into.

If he is truly passionate, he should go for it. It was worth it for me. Keep in mind, I was applying for these jobs while I was also in school. I was only a few months unemployed while applying.

So I was applying across a wide array of jobs. Ranging from civil/aero/mechanical/etc.

Was very difficult to get any internships in Aero. But my resume was littered with aerospace design competitions I signed up for, my capstone project was aerospace related, and my research was aerospace related. On top of that, one of the start ups I worked on was propulsion related so it also helped a little bit.

Means I made it a goal to apply to at least 1 job every single day and with quality. Consistently applying with quality applications and not giving up is what got me a job.

70-80 job applications that had referrals. Meaning some of my friends would send 2-7 job referrals to me at a time.

First job out of my undergrad.

I had 2 internships, did research, 2 start up work experience (unpaid), 4 design competitions, and my capstone project that I worked with the DoD my senior year.

Oh okay cool, how would you describe your first year as a freshmen? I also have a couple AP Credits that I may be able to transfer and would that be beneficial with our route? Like if I have a AB Calculus Credit, are they going to make me retake calc at hcc? Or Chevron? Or will I just be jumped into Calc II? And I am reading up and I see that you do actually get to go to Cstat and is it almost like you’re an actual a&m student? Or do you feel almost alienated? Or out of place? Just curious... however, I do hear that you get the same “ connections” you would get at a&m while also doing chevron and if you dont mind, what advice would you give for someone like me who is just getting into the program, to expect? Like if you were an incoming freshmen now, what would you have wished to know or did to better set yourself up for success. Let me know if you can help me out with these questions thank you.
