sheet metal to licensed engineer?

Hi,
just wondering is it possible to become a licensed engineer if the only real on the job experience you have is with sheet metal in aviation?
I am training at the moment and am sitting all my A exams this year. But its looking like my only on the job experience could be working with sheetmetal and composites, I will have the opportunity to sit B exams but will they be useless unless I can get someone to hire me to be a mechanic? Im asking this as I hear you must build up a certain amount of hours as a mechanic and where Im working now it doesnt like im going to get that opportunity when Im finished my A modules. Im hearing we will be put into sheetmetal and composites.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is bugging the last few weeks. I took this career to be in aircraft mechanics and electrics not to work in sheetmetal.
Thanks again
J
