I havnt considered the R.A.F in many many years, so i might look into that again.

I failed as i am +0.25 diopters over the astigmatism level, which seems a little trivial but suppose they have to have a cut off at some point and stick to it.

Anyways, i was thinking more Engineering in terms of Manufacture, Airbus etc, Mechanical Engineering basicaly, design, analysis or what would interest me even more, some type of project managements.

As for Engineering for airlines, it sounds pretty well paid to me, and not what i thought. I can see thats after a fair bit of experience and time but its still a nice wage.

What are the promotion prospects with airlines and engineering, such as progression to management etc?

I dont currently have a Degree no, i am at the end of Y1 where you need to choose what you want to do,

I have the choice of Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering, initially i thought Aerospace, now i am thinking Mechanical, but i am trying to find what i can do with such a degree that i will be happy doing.

I am looking for a job i would enjoy, but then looking at the Salary side too, i wouldnt take a job for the cash as such, but if i have 2 or 3 jobs i like the sound of and would enjoy equal then salary would be a turning point i guess?

I am busey reading here to see what people think of there engineering jobs, i am looking to see if a majority of you are satisfied.

Thanks again
