Question
hello SIR,
         I am Tasnia from Bangladesh.I'm a high school going girl and thinking of studying in aerospace engineering in CANADA.I am good at Math and i love science.I have a great passion for aerospace engineering.
But do women  get job easily after completing their studies or it's difficult for women aerospace engineers to find job in airline companies as it is a male dominating sector?
         Thank you-

Answer
I'm not sure about Canada, but in the U.S., women are readily employed in the aerospace industry. The biggest challenge for you is that many jobs are restricted to U.S. citizens for security reasons.  Incidentally, airlines hire few aerospace engineers because there are few engineering jobs available except in maintenance.  Aerospace industries hire many aerospace engineers.
