    Hi kj, is there no way to get jobs and internships during undergrad in aerospace engineering as an international student??

    • @KJHardrict

      I will admit that there’s a lot of security-related restrictions with Aerospace companies and labs because a lot are funded by the US government. But there are definitely companies and labs that are not defense-focused that could utilize an aerospace engineering degree

    Hi Kj, did you know any international students that took aerospace engineering? How was the experience for them in terms of jobs/ internships during and after uni?

      It's a little difficult as many positions in the Aerospace/Defense sector are for U.S Citizens

      Yes unfortunately a lot of pure Aerospace jobs are funded by the US government. However, as mentioned in the video, an aerospace engineering degree is more versatile than you may think. Also, we had hired international graduates for our drone startup, and we ran into no issues because we were an Aerospace company that was completely independent of the US government

      I am no longer in the Aerospace field, as I am now a full time software engineer

      And to even more specifically answer your question, as a software engineer, he probably earns over 200k if he works for a fortune 500 company and has 2-3 years of experience under his belt.
