As i enter my sophomore year of college at Penn State University, i have to make my decision as to what engineering field id like to go into. My dream is to work in the space industry such as nasa, space x, ect. In Pennsylvania the only aerospace engineering school is Penn State so this is why this is a big decision for me. Do I get an undergrad in aerospace or mechanical, and master in the other field? I want to get a masters because it will benefit me for jobs. I want to work while im getting my masters so the issue with AE as an undergrad is that in PA, the aerospace job field isn't huge compared to down south or out west. ME can get a job much more easily then an AE in PA. The problem with getting an undergrad in ME is that since Penn State is the only school that offers AE in PA, id basically have to get it from Penn state and i have heard that your undergrad and your graduate degree should be from different schools. Also instate tuition is nice and i live outside of Pittsburgh so its still a decent distance away from home. If i got an undergrad in AE i could get a masters in ME from the university of Pittsburgh which is very commutable. From someone who has knowledge in these fields, what do you suggest?!?!?!?!?!? I need to start thinking of my academic planning now.
