u/Glittering_Intern297

So I am a current high school senior planning on attending Mississippi State University for meche this upcoming fall. I chose meche for job flexibility, but plan to work in the aerospace/defense sector anyways. Is it common for mechanical engineers to land comparable salaried jobs next to aes in the aerospace/defense sector? Or should I major in aerospace to maximize pay? I also plan on doing atleast two internships throughout uni, so is it common for a student in meche to land an internship at a defense or aerospace giant? Or does majoring in ae give you a higher chance of landing those? I’d really appreciate some advice.
