G'day Mr.Buzzy
My only little piece of advice to you would be to consider how much work and determination was required of you to make a good pilot and to remember that the same will be required to make you a good AME/LAME.
This seems like pretty sound advice which means, unfortunately, it's probably not feasible for me at present. Obviously not something to do half-arsed.
Perhaps things will open up in the future.
Cheers
