yeah don't bother nathan. if you're not prepared to get into debt to do it then it's obv not too important to you. it's effing hard work aswell, no part of the course is easy and i've seen lots of people fail through a cpl because you really need to want it to get through it. doesn't sound like you do want it.
to be honest, designing missiles sounds boring to me. being in control of a 70tonne aircraft with a couple of hundred people sat behind you on a horrible approach, ****ty weather etc now thats a good job to me. not repetitive
And although I have never been an IT technician, I'm pretty sure it's not the same. i'll ask one next time i phone a helpdesk.
good luck
