For aerospace engineering which one is better for studying europe or usa?
Since it is an engineering area everyone says it is better in Germany or Europe, but there are so many companies such as SpaceX and Nasa in the USA. Which one is more logical for my education and when we think about job opportunities? #jobs #college

There are fantastic aerospace engineering programs in the US. Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, University of Texas at College Station, for example. Each of these is also located within reasonable distances from NASA space programs such as the Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, FL, Wallops Launch Island in VA, and the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. There are abundant opportunities for internships at these installations as I am sure these universities do some of the government research in conjunction with NASA. In many instances, full-time jobs may be offered after learning experiences in an undergraduate programs. I chose these universities in particular because their tuition for non-residents or out-of-state students is a half or nearly-half of those of private universities in the US.

Hi Irem,
The general consensus seems to be that you should tailor your school choice to the location that you eventually want to settle down and work in during your post-graduate experience. Companies are more likely to hire candidates who have received their degree in the country that the company is located in, so I would definitely give a lot of thought about where I would prefer to live.
If you see yourself living in the United States long-term (5 to 10 years after you graduate with your degree), then you should definitely work to gain US Citizenship in some cases, because some engineering companies require this status of their employees, and this process can be extremely long and extraneous, so this will require extensive planning.
Some Aerospace Engineers say that you will most likely earn a higher annual income in the United States than in Europe, because of companies that attract engineers such as Boeing. Some say that this higher average median income makes the United States a better place to study and practice engineering because of higher pay and higher standard of living.
Good luck with your studies!
