Thanks everyone for the replies.
I did expect mixed answers, but any insight is totally welcome. Not just looking to hear what I'd hope to.
Fact is, I also know of some national ATS training people only for student licenses and I did always wonder how do those guys manage to find OJT positions...heard that many just don't
And since cottononquick and chevvron were kind enough to provide the hint, would anyone know of more colleges offering private training? For now, in Europe I've only found global ATS and FTEJerez, while the rest would be in the US (where I could even work, having a first degree relative with citizenship), but I guess that after becoming 31 it would be impossible to find a job with no operational experience?
