You need to stand out from everyone else if everyone else is doing Rockets just like you are then you're not going to stand up if everyone else is doing Rockets then you need to be the rocket person right but if nobody else is doing let's say proportion you know that's probably untrue and you do propulsion you stand out from the rest of your class you can say yeah I'm the only proportion heavy MIT sophomore or etc. If nobody else wants to do avionics and you're the avionics person that makes you stand out there's so many different fields within Aerospace that you could really dive deep in invest so much time and if you're the only fluent person or probably the only bit if you're in a smaller Niche and that's great or you can do a whole wide breath and really know everything and be something like a systems engineer and interface so I would say just know what field you like what you want to do and niche in is my advice
