Can't go wrong with an engineering degree, nor a comp sci degree. Beware though. I tried to get a second degree in comp sci from my alma mater at Penn State and couldn't because all the seats were taken in the undergraduate college.

Penn State has a superb Aerospace Engineering degree. And they do a lot of work with the companies you mentioned. Doing some undergraduate research would be cool, too. That's how you get your foot in the door.

Roger, I don't know your background or expierence level however you don't require a degree to get into the aviation profession if you have a A & P license and some expierence. If you want to discuss in more detail contact me. I highly recommend you look at what intrests you and complete your degree Good Luck!
