Default Aerospace Career advice

Hi guys. I'm kinda new here was hoping you all can help me out.

I just graduated in november with a bachelor's in engineering mechanical, with little to no job experience. I'm in my late 20s now was hoping if anyone can guide me on progressing my career in the aerospace industry.

Advise like should i start my career as a technician with a salary of 1.8k eventhough i have a degree or should I seek something out of the aerospace industry for the mean time while i grow my work experience and finally land a job in the aerospace industry.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Where's your degree from? PT or FT? Campus or DL? Late 20s means like 28/29 years old?

Newcastle I assume is distance learning degree?

Generally for such degrees can either apply for fresh grad engineer role with SME or diploma level associate engineers with bigger co.

Pay level is ard 2.2-2.5k, try to apply as many as you can as the economy is not good and you will need many applications to secure 1 offer.

Thanks for the feedback I'll try doing that. Didn't know the pay level would be so low. Mind if I ask, you're from the aerospace sector as well?

Used to be, but I have now moved on to banking industry. Aerospace is not doing well now, so you will need to be patient. For this type of generic pte distance learning degree most mncs and glcs do not consider them as proper degree, so at most they will hire you at slightly higher than dip unless you already proven yourself previously during internship with the co.

Hmm. I see what you're saying. Seems pretty sad that Aerospace has declined quite badly in Singapore. Thanks. Any line in engineering you might recommend?

i would suggest that you can try applying to smaller aerospace companies first. Such as ACE, Parker, Folker, etc.

Harder to get into the bigger MNCS in the beginning with your background but u have a chance if u take the alternative route.

Most of these small/mid companies are like that. If given a choice of average candidate asking few hundred $ less than a good candidate, they will choose the average to save that small amount.
