Jobs for Aeronautical Engineers

[drisssouid]

Hey y'all

I'm Ben, 17 years old, high school senior and portuguese. My ultimate life goal is to become a pilot but unfortunately it is so expensive to become one. I would love to move to the us, I spent this summer there and I fell in love with the country and the people. So I was thinking about doing college there but as I'm an intl student tuition prices...well you know. I'm thinking about applying to Aeronautical engineering, get a job and then step up to an ATPL with my own money. Do you think it is a good idea? How about job availability in the United states for an aeronautical engineer?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers

I'm seeking for a bachelor's and who knows a master in the future so I don't think AME is what I'm looking for, I wouldn't mind but it's not what I have in mind. Thanks for your reply.

Check out indeed for the types of jobs there are currently in the u.s.. I suggest going ME with an emphasis or masters in AE to broaden your skill set, and MEs do work in aviation. (ME is mechanical engineer, AE is aerospace engineer).
