Question
I'm 16 year girl studying in 11th standard.My ambition is to become an aeronautical engineer.Could you pls tell what are the qualifications of it.Is this job suitable for females?
In the U.S., to become an aeronautical engineer one must study 4 or 5 years in a certified engineering school and obtain a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduate study beyond that is recommended. Here, it is a very suitable profession for women......but I know very little of India. You need to figure that out yourself.
