Flamebringer, don't misunderstand me I do sympathize but long term you are chasing a dream that has already died. The aviation industry WAS great, it was interesting it was enjoyable BUT it has now lost its way.
All that counts now is money over everything else. Everything is being pushed down to the lowest levels including wages and ticket prices.
To meet the demand of future aircraft sales this situation will only get worse unless people like madmax refuse to work for insulting wages and youngsters like you move to other industries if no PAID work is available. Without this attitude there is absolutely no hope.
Its hard, but its the truth. Seek an industry that respects those who work in it unlike the aviation industry which has been abusing those who work in it for many years now.
