Question

in aerospace field.should i do masters in aerospace engineering

Answer
Many computer programmers work in the aerospace industry, but to get a masters in aerospace engineering requires a bachelors degree in aero or mechanical engineering, or in some cases physics.  A computer science degree is not adequate because you probably don't have sufficient credits in math and science.
