Worth to choose aerospace over mechanical and others / job demand?

[FranciscoNQN]

Hi, My name is Francisco, I'm from Argentina and I'm an electronic technician. I'm trying to figure out if it is worth studying aerospace engineering in "Universidad De La Plata" thinking that I will have to compete with US and EU engineers while trying to find a job, my long term goal is to end my career, get a toffle English certificate and go live in New Zeland or Australia. I like planes, helicopters, and spacecraft, but my parents tell me that Argentina has poor aerospace development and I will struggle to find jobs, so I should go with mechanical or materials. My question is: Aerospace teaches you about aerodynamics, thermodynamics, structures. electronics and materials, Is that hard to find a job as an aerospace engineer? at least in something that isn't related that much? such automotive?

Thank you! Hope you can help me

There are very few aerospace jobs in Australia or NZ. For automotive you'd be better off with a mechanical engineering degree. Again, there aren't that many automotive engineering jobs in Australia or NZ, as our brilliant politicians killed the industry.

Cheers
