What type of engineering course should I pick?

If you wanted a career to do with space, for example working at NASA. Is it better to do aeronautical engineering or general engineering(or any other specific type of engineering e.g. mechanical engineering) for your course at university?

Thanks.

Hi again,

In order to work at NASA, aerospace engineering, computer hardware engineering, electronics engineering and mechanical engineering are best!
Although getting into NASA is not easy at all, so you're severely narrowing the number of job opportunities.

Yeah, it depends on what you want to do for NASA.

You’ll have to tailor your CV, work experience and voluntary work (incl extracurriculars) all towards ways to market yourself to a NASA recruiter of a specific department
