Business Outlook
Pros
You get to work with astronauts, travel to other countries, and create one-of-kind systems. The people are generally OK to work with, and you get good pay and benefits.
Cons
USA is part of the aerospace industry, so every year the Federal budget has a big effect on what gets done. Politics, rather than technical merit, plays a big role. All the contracts are very cost sensitive, so you rarely get any training to maintain your technical skills.
