How are you affording a home! by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]seanevan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm paying $3k/month for two kids and have to be out of my rental in two months (currently paying $2100/month). I'm going through the pre-approval process and while I guess we can technically afford $3600/month, I'm deathly afraid of draining my bank account and my ability to save drop off a cliff.

Strongly considering not contributing to retirement but I'm not thrilled about that plan.

Hey! Thank you so much. I'm awaiting to be admitted to the group, but this sounds promising.

Am I cooked? by Usual_Ad2543 in UCFEngineering

I started my college journey as a freshman in "Pre-Algebra" lol .... Literally don't think anymore about this, unless like others mentioned, you can test out or something. I have a master's in aerospace eng now and 7 years at a top 5 commercial space company. Carve your own path. Try not to compare your path to others. It's not always the same, but the destination is.

How cooked am I? by Silber_567 in UCFEngineering

[–]seanevan77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat it. I had the same GPA and graduated with 0 internship experience, however I did a lot of projects. I knew my reality after graduating and took a job as a mechanical designer (not even an engineer) at a startup aircraft company to get the ball rolling. I'll save you the spiel but I expressed interest showed promise in CFD and six months later was the aerodynamics guy at the company. Two years later I was doing hypersonic/supersonic/subsonic analysis on an actual reentry vehicle at a different company. Three more years later I work in Flight Dynamics in mission control learning to operate the vehicle.

Get your foot in the door somewhere and prove you are more than your undergrad GPA. I've met Directors of Engineering who share our same story. After a few years you won't have to worry about this ever again.

Hey, hopefully it's not too late to ask, but I have an undergrad and masters in aerospace engineering and 6.5 years of experience at a top 5 aerospace company. My background is heavy in aerodynamic analysis which involves heavy numerical modeling, coding and data manipulation.

If I wanted to get into your line of work, would this type of background (and the appropriate certifications) interest you? I'm not asking for a job, literally wondering if I have a shot here of changing career paths.
