I put down my PPL on an application for an engineering placement year away from uni, and spent the whole interview discussing flying in california with the interviewer......nice and easy......and naturally got the job (which was v hotly contested by over 100 students).
Just had to answer the question "so any thoughts on flying commercially in the future?" sensibly enough.
Naturally also ended up hating my time there, but thats another story, experience all the same!!!
Anyway, back at uni now and into the easy life once again.
p.s. studying aeronautical engineering before I get any flack Hooloovoo, haha, a bit useful than the all time great course of "wildlife conservation"
