If you are good and lucky, 4 years is possible to get a ticket and rating, via a 147 basic course, a company taking you on and proving your worthy of the investment of the type courses and of a type approval. Wherever you are comfortable to do that in the timescale is another matter. That wouldn't get you a 40K + pay packet at a Base MRO (although overtime and connying can). A few types on the ticket and other things like shift pay will. That will take a little longer. However it depends on how good you are..
Good luck in whatever you do..
Waiting for the smartarse to retort anything different!!
