Of course on the other hand if you just need the cash, try the motorsport sector. No offence to the aeronautical sector, but in motorsport you can do design that, rather than waiting for five-ten years to see your flap hinge flying on a BoingBus A347, you can design it have it manufactured and tested and be on the car racing inside a few weeks. If your not going long term in aerospace you are not going to get the really interesting stuff especially in bigger companies.
Take Genghis' advice and look at second tier companies, they often do the more intersting work. A good friend got the same degree as you and got a job working for AP Racing doing brakes for race cars, that sort of company could give you a way into aero work (planes need brakes too), which you may find more rewarding anyway.
