has anyone become an engineer from another background?

I am a qualified engineer for british gas and have been trying to get into aircraft engineering for some years!
I have just started to do my modules after receiving some advice from an engineer i know, and have successfully passed 4 modules at b1 level.
Although i have been picking up experience at weekends at aircraft maintenance services at blackpool on the 748 and ATP, from what i read the way i am doing it seems to be frowned upon by the industry!! Will i be employable if i carry on this way?
