Take an Engineering Honours Degree with an avaition bias and when you've graduated, seek work in the Engineering Department rather than the Maintenance Department. The work environment is nicer, the girls are prettier and you'll get to mix with the blue-blooded nobility themselves. Those who work permanent days in comfort and safety and who need no licences, for God himself has granted them authority to design the solution to any problem.
Of course you'll have to make their tea, run errands and pick the fluff out of their keyboards for a few years before you are granted "Design Signatory Authority" but its worth it. You could even go on to be a Chartered Engineer and never have do a stroke of your own work again for the rest of your life.
Best of all, you won't have to associate with obstreperous drunken B2 licence holders like ASFKAP either...
...and don't bother flaming me guys. I'm much too thick skinned for it to bother me
Seriously though, always go for the degree if you have the chance. There's plenty of life ahead to do what you please after graduating. Going back to school years later when you've got a family to keep is a bloody hard grind.
