Any aerospace mechanics?
I'm looking at going to school.
I HAVE to get out of tool and die. 4 years of machine work and I already feel like hurling myself off a cliff. How's this industry? |
I thought it was good there for a while...until the airlines started cutting back on the amount of flights.
Still...it wouldn't hurt to check the on-line job sites. |
Ever given any thought to joining the Air National Guard? You can pick any number of aircraft maintenance specialties and let them put you through school, then do your A&P license through your unit. Several guys at my unit have done so. It's a cheap way to go about getting your license, though it can take a little while to accomplish... plus you get paid (a bit, anyway) while doing it. Just a thought!

I wont be able to make it through. I have BHJS in every major joint (so much so, I cant even do push-ups) |

I'm not in that particular business myself, but I know a few guys who work for Boeing. They all got their start in the Navy.
You might look into Embry-Riddle. |

Not the cheapest route by any means. But, arguably the best. If you’re really serious about it. And with today’s ever-tightening industry. It may be nice to have that name associated with your ticket(s). |

I was thinking more local. This school is going to be over 20k for a year and a half full-time... I need a job that's mechanical (keep my hands busy) and isnt machine work/tool&die (both industries are dead...) |
I went to auto mech school for a couple of years, got tired of fixing rusty junk and went off to Northrop University to get an A&P license. They had some reputation for being demanding and it was a challenge but interesting every day. Met alot of guys working on their second career. Northrop is gone now, don't know if its buyer is any good. Embry Riddle had a good reputation then, still does now. I worked hard for decent grades, got called in for an interview with a place that had hired Northrop grads before. Twenty four years later I still haven't fixed a plane. Some of my stuff is orbiting earth, some is in the Indian Ocean,(oops), some is in a junkyard on Mars, (dang it!). The name on the degree will open doors for years to come.

I toured the school.
I'm gonna start in January. |
