To get into any engineering school you need to have taken several math and science courses and done well.  The SAT scores are important, but each school and department will decide what scores and requirements they want to see.  Check out a few school websites to see requirements (e.g., U. of Washington - Seattle).  As for jobs, the economy is in the tank, but we will always need engineers, especially aero engineers.  Good luck.
