Hi, my daughter wrote her 12th and is going for counseling at VIT and SRM, to take up Engineering. Like most of her age, she is toying between Aerospace, Automotive, Mechanical, Chemical and Electronics, the last two being "safe" options for a girl. I write this because, we don't want to maer her feel frustrated by joining Mechanical, and other disciplines considered male prerogatives. Aerospace is her first choice, but the decision both narrows her career opportunities as well as higher studies. She will probably have to do her Masters from the US, and in the same discipline. Is this observation correct? What are the career opportunities if she chooses Aerospace or Mechanical? I plan to put her on to learn coding and scripting, as we cannot do without IT, regardless of the discipline. She is not interested in pursuing the most common path of IT/Computer Science. Please share your thoughts...
