becoming aircraft engineer
hi, i hope i can get some advice here. i am sorry if these questions sound sill, but this forum seemed like an obvious choice, as i really dont know how else to get info on this.
i am 27 years old, i have no qualifications (A-level etc) but i have some experience in engineering (cars however!) i have had my own dry cleaning business for the past 8 years and have recently sold it and im ready for change in career. i have always had a passion for engineering and aviation, and now i have decided that if theres ever gonna be a chance for me to chase this, its now.
i see i can self study part 66, to a b1 licence (id like to work on engines). however, i understand it needs to go hand in hand with experience. what id like to know is would i have trouble completing this without previous experience in the field? how hard would it be to get employed? i dont mind holding a torch or passing tools! just so long as i can get that experience.
any advice? am i in the clouds (excuse the pun) dreaming this could happen? any comments welcome.
thanks in advance.
