[Changing/switching units]

Not sure what you are referring to here, the cost of attendance at both schools is very comparable. Ole Miss looks like ~$600 more a year. Pick the school you want to go to.

I know in MS everyone talks up MS State for Engineering vs. Ole Miss but I can tell you it doesn't matter. As an undergraduate, everyone (engineering) pretty much starts on the same playing field in the workforce, assuming you went to an ABET accredited school.

hmm, I didnt know they were the same price, I must have heard wrong :/

cool, I'll check that out. I was thinking about working around the bigger planes anyways. I don't have any prior military experience, so I would have to go to basic and tech school. Im not sure how long the airplane maintanence tech school is...

as for mechanical engineering, I was hoping that getting a degree in aerospace would qualify me for a position as another type of engineer. maybe engineering off road equipment or automotive. I have a visit planned for jan. 10th at Ms state, so i need to ask them about all that.

As for Ole Miss, I wish I could afford it LOL. But it is a good school, I know a couple of people that went there.

thats good to know, its my main concern. I am going to Mississippi State next fall for aerospace engineering or something similar. I know the closest ANG bases to where the college is, is about 1 1/2 hours. Jackson and Meridian. I figure if I got an ANG tech job in something that is needed everywhere, like aircraft maintanence, then it should be easy to transfer.

I am considering going into the ANG for a mechanical related job. I am full time college right now and want to go in to further my career and get tuition assistance. The only problem that is keeping me from signing up is that I do not know what will happen after I get out of school and whether or not I can move to another unit easily if I have to take a job in a different state for example. The ANG says that you can change units but they did not say how long the process took. Also I guess its the question of whether or not the job I am trained for is avaliable in another place or not...anyone else out there had to do this?
