What You'll Do: The job entails: going over proposals to determine if they are practical and affordable, conceptualizing aerospace designs and translating them into computerized blueprints and models, overseeing the production of aircraft and other aerospace parts, examining prototypes to check if they meet quality standards and function properly, determining the cause of any problems and finding a way to fix them, and more. There are two major classifications in aerospace: aeronautical and astronautical, and engineers in either field usually specialize in a certain area such as thermodynamics, flight mechanics, or acoustics. Your specific duties will vary accordingly.

All of this work is typically done between the office and manufacturing facilities, and most aerospace engineers work in aerospace product manufacturing, scientific research, or for the federal government. Full-time work is most common for engineers of all kinds, and work-weeks extending past 60 hours are not uncommon during busy times.

Education and Training: The most common educational requirement for getting into the aerospace field is a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. Those with engineering degrees in other fields may also be hired to do aerospace work by some employers. In order to receive a bachelor's degree, you must undergo four or more years of studying subjects such as physics, chemistry, calculus, trigonometry, and algebra. More specifically, you will study the engineering principles of aerodynamics, propulsion, and more. After completing many lectures, labs, and internships, you will have your degree.

Those who have a master's degree in engineering should have better job prospects, and some schools offer five-year programs that result in both a bachelor's and master's degree. While new engineers are not required to be licensed, senior-level engineers are usually required to get licensed by the ABET.

The Future: The Aerospace Engineering profession is expected to grow at about 5% through 2020, which is slower than the average for all occupations. Competition should be keen for available positions.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Aerospace Engineers in the U.S. range from $61,300 to $145,800, with the average median annual wage hitting $102,400 in 2011 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
