Aerospace engineering is a very narrow field. You end up working on airplanes, shuttles, jet engines, satellites, etc. Not very many companies deal with that.
HOWEVER, before the recession hit there was lots of talk about commercial space tourism taking off. There were talks about allowing private and public companies to launch into space. So, if things pick back up again you can be at the forefront of a field that could really expand and be very profitable.
I was faced with a decision between mechanical engineer and aeronautical engineering and chose mechanical because the field was broader.

Also, with aerospace engineering, you will be moving all over the place. My friend's dad was an aerospace engineer, and they moved every few years because of his job. There just usually isn't a place to find stable, long-term employment.

(unless you're good enough for NASA)

reassessment of college, now that I'm happier:
still don't really have friends, but I have people that I like and I'm mostly satisfied. there is so much work and so many things to do but I feel like this is a very good community for me. there's actually a football game outside (I didn't realize that these happened) and there are a lot of people screaming, but it's juxtaposed with the soft sweet melodies of the boys upstairs makin' music. I'm pretty pleased that the past two nights have been good, so if I don't drink too much and fuck up tonight, it'll be the hat trick (oh I think we just scored everyone sounds excited). first exam next week so I need to shower and then hit the libraaary. I feel at peace. it's fun to figure new things out.
I do, however, miss dogs and children.

See? College can be pretty awesome if you try to do what you want to do, and not what other people want you to do. You'll find people who enjoy the same things as you and subsequently make friends with them, especially when you get more into your degree classes. It'll be awesome.
