I have worked in the defense industry for 35 years. My BS is in aerospace. There was maybe a 6 month period when I directly used skills I learned for aero. Except geometry, I am always using geometry. That said, the key is a STEM degree; that is a basic qualification. My coworker’s degrees include aerospace, mechanical, computer science, and electrical. Most have also earned Master’s through the companies.
Another observation is that geography is important. Companies will recruit interns from local universities. Interns gain experience and connections which generally leads to solid employment. Your son should look at who is doing what and find companies and programs that are interesting to him. That could inform school choice.
Good luck to him.
