Is this the career for me?
I have always wanted to be a pilot but I have an inner ear disorder than I think will stop me from being able to fly.
I am now very seriously looking at a career as an aircarft engineer. Before anyone says not to do this job as a substitute for being a pilot I have always been interested in anything mechanical and taking things apart etc. In fact it was my interest in mechanial things that lead me to want to be a pilot. I also have A levels in Electronics and Physics. Basically this isn't a rash decision I have made.
However..I want to be really sure about the job before going any further. Does anyone know if it's possible to get any kind of work experience in this field? Like spending a day with an aircraft engineer to see exactly what goes on day to day. I would be willing to go anywher in the UK.
Any help much appreciated.
