Too Old for a Career in Av. Eng.?

[Coochycool]

I'm very much obliged to all the above respondants for their advice.

Perhaps I rather overstated the health issue, it basically hasnt been a problem in many years, I just wanted to elucidate why I've left it so late. I actually wanted to be aircrew originally.

Certainly I have done some very tough physical jobs in recent years, my present one is 12 hour nightshifts constantly on my feet.

I suppose my real query is just exactly what are the jobs which are out there?

As I said before, I'm not looking to change the world, I just want to get involved jobswise in whatever humble capacity.

Like the guys who do the turnarounds at your average airport, what quals./experience does one need for that?

And aircraft refueller, how does one get that job?

I'll probaby do the HNC out of interest anyway and just take it from there. Unless you have any better ideas.

Thanks again
