freikorps,
No offence taken I can assure you. As you say, lets' get real here. The system is geared up to degree holders and the lesser qualifications such as ours are what they are...lesser. As I have said I do not want to get into a Degree vs Licence debate. The degree holders have got it wrapped up. We know what we contribute and that is far far more than a lot of people will ever realise, understand or are even bothered about. What I do know is that I have had the privelege to meet and work with some of the most unassuming, practical and yet unrewarded (both in in financial and proffessional recogntion) groups of people who are otherwise known as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, whether they were Licensed or not.
