Hi guys, are there many jobs out there in the design, development and testing of aircraft (helis) for graduates of MEng Aeronautics courses. Are these types of jobs much sought after amongst graduates? And can graduates typically get jobs working on the design and development side or would the typical route be to do a stint as an aircraft engineer for a while before getting into the design testing?
I'm a heli pilot, but i would ideally one day like to get into the research/design/industrial side of aviation. I'm trying to work out if there are many jobs in the field? (regretfully i turned down a place to study Aero Eng at imperial a few years back for a number of reasons
, however i am now considering reapplying
. I am 24 with a first class honours degree in music & sound technology, and hold a commercial heli-license and instructor rating).
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. If I graduate (again) at 28 will i have missed the boat for the grad schemes etc...
Thanks all
Aucky
