Engineer/ Pilot
My tenpennorth.
Plenty of wannabe pilots out there - slim chance of getting any job let alone a plum one.
However...
If you hold heli engineering licences then you have achieved something far cleverer than learning to fly the things. You can fly one in a week whereas you'll still be emptying drip trays and making the tea at that stage of your engineering training.
My bet is that you could land a plum blue-water gin palace job if you achieve engineering as well as your flying licences.
Otherwise, with the economy going down the pan, the smart money remains in the bank or doesnt get borrowed in the first place. My heart goes out to the young people I meet regularly who have borrowed a huge sum of money, done the training, got the licence and havent a hope in hell of getting a job. I cant imagine anything worse.
All the best. I hope you prove the sceptics wrong.
