@NutLoose: I already looked at various job offers and graduate programs at Boeing, Honeywell, etc... I just wanted someone with experience in this field to tell me what to expect. But thanks anyway (Actually I hadn't looked at BAE).
@MG23: Thanks for sharing your experience. Would you start there again or directly take a job in a "more commercial" field? I guess productivity is less (or more cumbersome) compared to other fields because of certifications like DO-178?
