Aerospace Engineering?

I am thinking about going to college to get a degree in aerospace engineering. I just dont want to waste time if after completing college i wont be able to find a job, get good pay, ect. I was wondering if anyone could help me on finding out how easy it is to find a job in this field, what the pay may be, and any other useful info. Or does anyone think there is another engineering field to enter that would be better?
