Engineering - Pay and Conditions
I have been looking at going into Engineering after the sad news my eyes dont cut the CAA Class One Medical Standards.
I recently attended a career seminar style event, it was about all aspects of Engineering, when it came to the aviation part, the general overview was "dont do it" and this was because they say its underpaid compared to other jobs you can get with a B/MEng Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I have done some digging but cant really find out what career prospects are like in Aviation engineering and what roles have the best prospects.
I couldnt find much info on Salary either, however, if you switch to Automotive or even Civil, there are loads and loads of sources of pay and conditions and all that.
I have passion for Aviation, which to me is worth loosing a few K a year on Salary, but how this guy was talking, Aviation has no money in it for engineers and the better paid jobs are else where?
So, any info on pay and conditions would be most useful, as to is anyone who wants to put me right on anything i have said, i have typed is as i heard the info, and i know that some people are very bias about industries where they have greater interest.
