I am not a LAME, but as I understand it it is a trade, like a builder electrician plumber etc and would require an apprenticeship.
I believe that the MONETARY REWARDS are GREAT once you have completed the apprenticeship. Oh and you will get
PAID overtime and AWARD OR ABOVE wages. Some companies would like the fact that you have a CPL and you may be able to do post maintenance check flights and flights to do work in remote locations.
Come to think of it why would anyone become a LAME
