Question
sir,
i have recently graduated from high school scoring 89%.i have been admitted in drexel university on dean's scholarship but due to financial problem i have not join it.
know i am planning to go either to university of houston or university of texas at arlington for my undergraduation.I am interested in aerospace engineering but i am not very sure about it's job prospects.
As for example,there are many jobs for mechanical engineers.So, one can fearlessly take that major but i am not sure about aerospace.
So, please tell me if i will be graduating from UH(houston) or UTA(arlington) with Mechanical and aerospace engineering as a major,what will be my chances of getting a highly paid or descent job in USA or anywhere else.
Also i was thinking of computer engineering..which one will be the better option.
One more thing,Some people told me that there are many trust in india and usa which help financially weak students.if u have any idea about them then please do tell me.
thank u

Answer
Sorry, I know little about job prospects except that the economy is bad right now.  But in four years it might be a completely different story.  I would check the websites of aerospace companies such as Boeing and see what their job opportunities look like.  You can also check university websites such as the U. of Washington - Seattle and follow the links to student financial aid.

I would suggest taking the engineering courses that are of most interest to you and worry about jobs later.
Paul
