Abstract The employment scene for professionals of all sorts becomes more volatile with each decade. In engineering‚ graduates of past generations could reasonably look forward to a linear career trajectory characterized by upward mobility and advancement. A typical career back then might allow the graduate to move from strict technical work to creative design work‚ then on to technical management‚ and perhaps to general management – often within one firm. In contrast‚ today’s engineering graduate

My will to become an aerospace engineer comes indirectly from my father. Not that he is an aerospace engineer himself but because he gave me the love of space. Indeed‚ my father is a formal civil engineer and he spent a big part of his engineer’s career to build runways for airports. He used to take me with him on his workplaces when during my childhood. There were many planes taking off and that fascinated me. later‚ when I was eleven years old‚ he took me with him in a small plane to show me how
