[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of aerospace engineering jobs in NM. AFRL, SDL, and Sandia all are in Albuqueque. There also are aerospace jobs in other locations of the state. All are very happy to recruit locally. [/quote]
There is a strong aerospace presence in New Mexico. My point wasn't really about regional opportunities, but rather about the broader access that top programs provide.

While New Mexico State graduates do have strong local options, graduates from schools like Georgia Tech or Purdue will be competitive nationwide with access to a wider range of opportunities across different regions and industry sectors. All or nearly all of the top aerospace employers actively recruit at the top engineering schools, whereas regional schools are generally more limited, with recruiters mainly coming from their own backyard.

It's not that one path is definitively better. As I mentioned, engineers from any ABET program can ultimately have similar careers. It's more about the breadth of initial opportunities and the doors that may open more easily right out of college. [/quote]
