Why I Love Being an Aircraft Engineer
Hopefully not too 'corny'. Here I am in my 'twilight years', still in aviation after over 45 years, teaching at an A&P mechanic school in the US.
Attempting to motivate new students, I'm looking for input from folks on what has made them happy to be in aviation as an Aircraft Engineer - what type jobs. My aviation career has been mostly in the air - F/E and pilot, but began as an A&P (US Navy first). I know there are so many different jobs Engineers (A&P's in US) can hold. One of my 'favorites' is the job the guy that puts out VIP B777 youtube videos as (I am sure) a fly along mechanic has.
I am hoping to gather enough inputs from PPRUNE to copy and paste into a document to pass out to the students in an attempt to motivate them. It's a different world out there and I'm thinking if I was able to (easily) gather peoples inputs (about great aviation gigs) and motivate some folks, that would be wonderful.
Thanks for your positive inputs.
