Career progression for Simulator Engineer
Hi all,
Asking for a friend in my home town here, would really appreciate any thoughts or advice.
Daniel is currently working as a simulator engineer at the national airlines in Taiwan. What are the possible career paths for him to take which would (1) allow him to live in another country and (2) have a stable career? What I mean by stability is what kind of licenses/skills/positions should he work such that this knowledge will not become moot through new technology or become a dead end job? I remember reading in one of the previous threads with some advising that flight simulator jobs are not as great as before since the new sims will not need the skill sets that engineers from a previous generation have.
How does one get a foot in the door as a foreign individual?
For context he is thirty and has worked in another airlines as a mechanic after graduating from his Master's, and has five years experience with his current job. He will also be trying to become fluent in English.
Thank you so much for any comments.
