Basically the title, I applied to an aerospace engineering degree in the city of Košice in Slovakia and just got accepted.

I’m quite hesitant if it is a good idea to go there though, mainly because slovakia has bascially no aerospace industry, however it is a member of the EU and ESA, so I suppose I could move abroad to a different EU nation (which is no big deal honestly considering I am a slovak citizen, therefore also an EU citizen) and get an aerospace job in czechia, germany, france or some other country.

The main reason why I’m hesitant is because I don’t know how difficult it is to land an aerospace job for foreigners, I’ve heard the field is rather competive. Is there any chance i could realistically land an aerospace job? Should I consider a different field instead of aerospace?

Hi, i’ve been considering majoring in applied mathematics at my local uni for quite some time now, however im not really sure if it’d be a good idea yet i still really want to pursue the major.

I recently finished a vocational highschool slovakia, it is a technical vocational highschool. Here in slovakia, such schools are supposed to prepare students for STEM majors, mainly engineering but also other majors like architecture, geosciences etc.

One major flaw my school had was math, or math teachers were terrible, i feel like they probably didnt like mathematics at all, most of my math classes were basically useless.

I was well aware of this from early on and since i wanted to go to uni, i decided to study mathematics on my own, gaining information from different sources such as books, videos on youtube or websites. After some time i got relatively good at math and i started to like it a lot. I managed to pass a slovak national highschool math exam (maturita) with ease and a high score (80%, i felt disappointed however, because i always got over 90% on past paper and only made mistakes in arithmetic or algebraic operations).

I like proving and deriving formulas, doing proofs and finding out why things work the way they work (im probably not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to proofs, especiaĺy with more complicated proofs) I’m familliar with many concepts in linear algebra ,calculus, analytical geometry, logic, set theory or other fields of math (at a highschool or first semester uni level, i do have some weaknesses as well, my biggest weakness is probability)

Since i started to like math a lot, i began considering applied math as my major. It is difficult for me to decide though if i should pursue the major, i feel like i might be missing important information and therefore fail, or fail because i havent had a good math teacher since elementary school, or fail because i wasnt able to correctly judge my ability to learn and do more complicated math

I honestly dont know what else there is to say, i hope you can give me advice
