Engineer Help
With reference to your post, never ever give up hope etc and try to fulfill your dreams. I started as a Ground Support Mechanic, Aircraft Mechanic, Flight Engineer and now Senior First Officer/Chief Engineer.
It can be done etc and its not an easy road, know your basic mechanics, Learn a trade and become versatile. Try not to upset too many people as its a small world.
Send me a PM I can maybe couch you in some areas I know a lot of people and recently got 2 18 year old 4 year fixed courses with EASA 66 at the end.
