Another Aerospace help topic.

[FuturePilotL]

I'm a H.S. junior in FL. In the past months I really been thinking to myself, What on earth do I want to do? I been amazed by airplanes my whole life and spaceshuttles too. I think engineering them, well that'll be awesome. But here's the problem, I don't even know what aerospace eng. is like? I want to see first hand in a company of some sort what they do and what they're like. And I have another problem, My math. I know Engineering equals math. My math is not the greatest out there, but I am way above average, on my math and science skills. My G.P.A. is 3.3 right now and hopefully that'll change.(My freshman year ) Anyways I was wondering where would I look for as a shadow job in aerospace industry. If anyone would have any advice. And also may I have some more advice "specificlly" on my math skills, they are improving though. I look at it this way, some people are twice as smart as me so I have to study twice as much to be at that level, and lately I have been. My plans are attending Embry-Riddle in Daytona.

Have you considered entering the industry in one of the skilled trades and pursuing a maintenance licence? These are well paying positions and have a good deal more job security than engineering. Licences can be written for Airframe, Power (engines), and Avionics (aviation electronics) or in combinations. If you've never thought about that career path, maybe you should,

I thought about it, and tell you the truth I'll probably get those too. Here's another factor to be calculated in, I will be applying for the AFROTC scholarship soon. Hopefully if everything runs smooth I can serve my country after college as a engineer or pilot. Either way would be awesome, a win win situation. Engineering AirForce jets, missles, ect... that'll be amazing and while serving my country and getting a free education? I'll say yes to that for sure.

 

Thanks for your advice and input.
