I aim to become an airline pilot once/if I graduate with my Aero degree....You are right however, the course does lack female company!
Psychology is the better option on that front!
On a more serious note to what is being said above. I completely agree 100% that Aero is tough and demanding compared to your average course, and that if you're intending to get into the LHS of an airliner it may not be the best option due to the fact you won't be using your degree compared to someone who'll become a full-time engineer, resulting in a lack of comitment. I can totally understand this however, I see myself falling into the above situation yet I feel my commitment is still very high.
Yes, when exam time arrives it bogs you down but I just try and think of the end result and it's worked for me so far. I'm just hoping 2nd year is as rewarding as 1st year!
