I would agree, I don't think you should jump at any degree, its all about making the right decision for you.
jonathang I seem to recall from my college days, some 5 years ago, that Aeronautical Eng and Aerospace Eng, are slightly different in their mathematical content. I studied Aerospace Eng, and even though it did have mathematical content, it was slighty more practical than simple number crunching.
Even though I never experienced it myself, a number of my friends whilst at university used to fly with the University Air Squadron, and thoroughly enjoyed it, most likely a good move.
