So...
I spent a LOT of money on my BS in Aeronautics from UND Aerospace. I graduated with a 2.8 (lots of reasons, but I had a year and a half where working and illness really got the best of me). While I love flying, the QOL for myself and my family would be on the bottom end due to my debt vs pay.
So I'm looking into changing careers. My grandfather and 2 cousins are all Electrical Engineers. I'm not sure I want to follow their footsteps. I would ideally work in magnetic devices or propulsion systems. In general, I still have fun just building things.
I was told before that Mechanical Engineering gets you a job anywhere as an Engineer. However, I wanted to put it out to you if you think a different major would be better. I believe I need to get another BS before I can get a MS or MEng.
Also, I know I don't qualify for the SMART program due to my gpa, but does anyone know of another sponsorship? I know there's a demand for uas pilot/engineers right now, but I'll miss that boat and I doubt the size of some of these companies would be willing to sponsor.
Thank You in advance!
