Let me tell you that Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the research , design, development, construction, testing, science and technology of aircraft. It is divided into two major and over lapping branches i.e. Aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. The aeronautics deals with aircraft that operates in earths atmosphere, and the astronautics deals with space crafts that operate outside the earth's atmosphere. Aerospace engineering deals with the design, construction and study of the science behind the forces and physical properties of aircraft rockets, flying craft and space craft. The field also covers aerodynamic characteristics and behaviors, airfoil, control surface, lift drag and other properties. Aeronautical engineering was the original term for the field. As flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space, the broader term aerospace engineering has largely replaced in common usage. Aerospace engineering, particularly, the astronautics branch, is often called as rocket science.

Aeronautics is definitely helpful after but you should be be very clear about the subject. Gain more knowledge about it through net , books ,people who are already in this field and your professors and clear your doubts. Do not go by what people say believe your capabilities and potential. Everybody is different, you will get jobs according to your own strengths they will get according to their own.

Prepare your self well and understand each and every thing before pursuing it. Recheck your own interests again to find out whether you have the right aptitude for this field or not. This will make you more confident.

ALL THE BEST!!!
