Aerospace Engineering involves design and manufacturing of hi-tech systems, hence the engineer requires possessing manual, technical and mechanical ability. This field is pretty new and under-developed as of now in India. Salaries are high, if you are skilled and willing to shift your location to the southern parts of India, where the aerospace industry is mainly situated. Due to the heavy risks involved, emphasis on quality and complex technicalities, to grow in this field requires a minimum of 10-15 years of experience.
