If you have a PPl then follow through on your pilot course and get an ATPL and be an airlines pilot.
Way better than engineering.
And why is that? Personally I couldn't think of anything more dull than life as an airline pilot. Flying the same piece of hardware everyday to the same destinations, pulling the stick back for take-off and pushing it forward for landing whilst a computer takes care of the rest. Most of the drivers I deal with on a day to day basis say it bores the crap out of them and they only do it because they do not know anything else. 5 earlies followed by 2 days off, night corfu's and sharm el sheikh's and a roster that only enables you to plan your life 28 days in advance - er no thanks!! I'll stick to low life engineering - 4 on 4 off, working multiple aircraft types with a mixture of flying spanner work, downroute AOG's and detachments to keep it interesting and a paychit that has the F/O's and some junior capt's green with envy
