Thats good. How did you choose that profession. Did you know someone or just was kinda looking for a job?

I have my IT Network Specialist degree and used to be an IT consultant but I changed fields to the pipeline industry. I now do In-Line Pipeline Inspection. The pay is wayyyyyy my lucrative than IT

My dad owned a Construction company and offered me a summer job 5.5 years ago. A few months into my 12th year of high school I dropped out and asked to work full time and have ever since. He ended his company to become a saftey inspector and I started working for my current framing company 2.5 years ago. Don't regret it at all. 22 years old and making $35/hr.

Awesome you had a way in. Thats my issue with becoming an aircraft mechanic is yes I can do the online course to start my apprentice no problem its trying to get into a place that hires apprentices for 2-3 years untill I am fully licensed.

No not exactly from what ive learned. Biggest thing is there is lots of certificates and paperwork due to fixing something that carries 10-300 people to something that carries 1-7 You need an AME License that requires you to apprentice as a aircraft mechanic and fill an entire log book. After you get that then you can get certificates from certain aircrafts. 

I steal from the rich and poor and give to myself. For it is the way of el banditos

I'm 24 & work at a financial firm after college. Worth it, but people in the firm are very old school so dealing with them sucks. Everyone waits till the last second & then want it done then & now. Other than that, life's great.
