There are many opportunities for career development in the aerospace industry. The book is a first-hand account of an aerospace/mechanical engineer's career progression, from NASA compressibility research to freight train brakes, jet engine development, ICBMs, planetary exploration vehicles, gas turbines for power generation, and solar energy use. A career guide rating is created by taking into account the opportunity, compensation, learning, security, and family benefits for each career move.
