second can i do masters in aeronautical field with an electrical and electronics background?if i can what are the possibilities in this field home and abroad(a small field has started here)and on which aeronautical field to try for?
third if i want to settle abroad which field to try for that has greater demand for jobs?
fourth which university you recommend for masters in USA?

Answer
Klutz - The best major is one that is of most interest to you. I do not know if you have an adequate academic background for graduate work in aero. You should contact an engineering school of your choice and ask the department chairman. You may be able to enroll with the requirement to take certain undergraduate courses such as fluid mechanics and aerodynamics to get up to speed. Try U. of Washington - Seattle website or search on engineering schools U.S. As for job opportunities, I cannot say. Many aerospace jobs in the U.S. are restricted to U.S. citizens for security reasons. Check the Boeing or similar website for current job opportunities and requirements.
