Personally, the minute I have my degree, I intend to high-tail it across the Atlantic, and get work in an American firm. To quote Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits:

I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found " ~ Telegraph Road

You were doing so well until you informed us you'd use the resources of this country to enable you to fuck off elsewhere.

Hey, I'm paying for my education sans loan, I am doing nothing but putting IN to the system.
And where do you want me to work? My previous point shows there's fuck-all here. If there were a decent aero company in the UK, I'd take that as a priority. As it is, I have a job lined up with a small company working on specialist tech. As it is, the company may be basing itself in the UK for its manufacturing due to over-stringent US regulations.
If there's no market, there's no work. I'd rather, ahem, "fuck off elsewhere" to work than stay here, go on the dole, and be nothing but a drain on the country's already shaky economy.

What about BAE and potentially Rolls Royce? Both of these are very large firms and have massive aero engineering sites. Pretty sure they are both in Bristol though I think Rolls Royce may have moved...
