Hello. So AE is a thing i really love but for Versatility does doing BSc in ME changes a thing? As being a non citizen doing Bsc in AE is not the best option due to Itar laws. so whats yalls opinion on this?

I gave m1 in january 2026 but i did it by studying for just 1 month 15 days so yeah the results came bad i got a 40 and it was a E but i am trying to change it as i am thinking of sitting for it in oct 26 so i have quite some time and i am really locked in so is there any tips on how to start it cause i dont really know if i should do topicals or see the formulas+book and just start the Qps

What should i memorize and which ones should i just go thru once ? i am really confused cause seems like i cant memorize them all its a really big topic

Finished all the topics from the book from start till numerical methods and now from 1st july i have straight 3 months as i am sitting for exam in oct/nov but i am lost on how to start or which QP year to start with and how to continue so i get a understanding and know the patterns of the questions instead of getting scared

Guys i am really feeling devastated , cause even after going thru the topics and solving their exam practice from the book i still feel like i cant even solve a single question in the QP without taking help from the ms in . Is there any suggestions yall would like to give ? i am sitting for it in october/nov session

Was wondering is it worth it to do the Bsc in mechanical/aeronautical in japan compared to other countries like U.S , U.K? (i am planning to do it in english )

Realistically, how long does it take to crack the $100k mark, and what is the ceiling for a standard technical track by the time you hit age 30? and does commercial aerospace reward job hopping the same way, or do the massive internal corporate ladders (moving from Level 1 up to Level 3/4) offer better promotion velocity? (As a int student in the U.S , i know about ITAR so maybe in commercial sector jobs?)

Hello , so ever since I was a little kid, working in the aerospace industry has been my absolute dream. I’m currently doing my A Levels (expecting to finish by January 2027), and since I want to get a head start on building my engineering knowledge beforehand, I really thought I should reach out to people who are on the process .
I have couple questions and would be really grateful if i get some answers

1. Do you absolutely need an MSc/MEng to land an entry-level job at a good aerospace company, or is a Bachelor's degree enough to get your foot in the door?
2. Once I actually start my undergraduate degree, what should I actively be doing from the very first semester to ensure I can land a solid job by the time I graduate? Cause i heard its really competitive ( Other then the defence stuff i wanna just get into a commercial aircraft companies)
3. Lastly , how hard is it seriously , cause people online are just atm lying that its the hardest .

Actually I’m trying to do everything I can to set myself up for success early, but it’s hard when you're looking from the outside in. Any advice, reality checks, or steps you wish you took at my age would mean the world to me.

3. Going to a US university for undergrad has always been a massive goal of mine. Given my situation I am a private a level candidate so joining clubs or getting into anything related to aeronautical is not quite possible as its only for the students in their high school ( i am a mixed japanese so i decided to do A levels instead not thinking much of all this before), my current extracurriculars (ECAs) are self-taught coding (Python), CAD software practice, and online engineering course certificates. Before I start applying, should I try to build a physical project like a custom drone or something similar to make my application stand out? With these kinds of independent, self driven projects, do I have a realistic shot at US admissions?
