Brooke Menne AddedTuesday, January 7, 2025 at 11:51 AM Can I still be an aerospace engineer with a mechanical engineering degree? I got rejected from only aero university in MN after previously pursing an aerospace degree elsewhere. Am I able to pursue the same dreams I had as an aerospace engineer if I do a mechanical degree?

So, I have a fabulous job at NASA, and I do not have an aerospace degree. Good luck!
