Is there a good alternative degree to Aerospace Engineering?

You can parlay your Navy training and schooling into a technician job as soon as you're out. A technician is not the same as an engineer - techs typically don't have BS degrees yet.

Work with a few engineers, and find out which disciplines you find interesting, then pursue your BS part time while keeping your technician job. When you graduate with your engineering degree, ask for a promotion, or seek engineering jobs in another company.

I work on aerospace systems and my coworkers are aerospace, mechanical, electrical, software and systems engineers. Just depends on what aspects of aeronautical design you want to pursue.

There are schools that offer a BS in Technology. Most all engineering will have math requirments. With your background, I would say that it is not undoable, just will require a lot of WORK. You might take CALCULUS and DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS at a community college befor you go to engineering school. Just focus on the math for a few semesters. Turn a weakness into a strength. Then go and do any engineering you want. I would probably advise electrical or electronic with your background. More opportunities and career stability.

The first thing that I would recommend is to not think the Math required is beyond our grasp. If you can do algebra, you will be just fine. What I have discovered is the first step my be Calculus, but everything after that is just algebra.

You can look into going to a university that has a school of Technology and a school of engineering, but I think that you may be disappointed after graduation.

NASA has jobs for accountants, directors, astronomers, area scientists, community planners, pc scientists, settlement professionals, criminal investigators, aerospace engineers, pc engineers, electric and electronics engineers, fireplace prevention engineers, mechanical engineers, shape engineers, centers engineers, finance kinds, human supplies, concepts technologies managers, intelligence analysts, operations analyze, actual sciences, production administration, high quality coverage, and secure practices & occupation well-being (purely to record some). to boot, there are multiple an identical and different kinds of jobs with NASA contractors -- maximum NASA paintings is done via contractors.

Calculus is easy. I failed it 2 times before i realized what the problem was. I just needed to ROTE memorize everything then i was all set to ACE it! just repeat every formula 20 times and write it down 10 times. Just like riding a bike, practice makes perfect!

i guess that would be the same as aeronautical engineering. there is industrial design.

but you can probably do it. i know a lot of engineers and most of them really aren't that smart.
