Question
i am a student of fyjc science stream!!my age is 16 yrs.i wanted to know how to become an aeronautic engineer!!i mean how much studies are required and is there any future in this line??wat is the starting pay of an engineer!!

Answer
To become an aeronautical engineer you must complete 4 to 5 years study in an engineering college.  You will take much math and science.  Starting pay in the U.S. is around $60,000 per year.  Citizenship is often required.  The future in aero engineering is good unless the economy really fails, but that usually is a temporary condition.
