Maintainance engineering career - advice.
Hi
I am seriously considering a career change and am giving serious thought to aircraft engineering. I have a PPL have been fascinated by aircraft for a long time.
What I am looking at is doing the foundation degree at Kingston University in aircraft engineering.
With this in mind, what i want to know is what the career opportunities are for licenced B1/ B2 engineers? ie is there a decent job market or do you have to move anywhere to get that elusive first job? Is most of the work contract work or permanent? Is it shift work or 9 - 5?
I would be really interested to hear from any engineers on whether you would recommend the job? What you could be expected to get paid, conditions etc.
Any advice on the career would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
