Thanks....Im pretty excited about starting up next year...I talked to some people that know guys in the program and they said they love it...so we'll see...
I went the "school" route. I went to a really good highschool, they call it more of a "college prep school" Example, got a newsletter recently that claimed 99% of the graduates of class of 2009 went to college 50% had scholarships. Just on the flipside, my mom's HS she teaches at 3 miles down the road, had a 48% graduation rate. No clue on what amount went to college.
Either way, always been a hands on guy. Theory is great but I prefer application. I tried Mech Engineering, but I didn't apprecieate all the theory, dumped out and went for Business and lead to Accounting. It loved the troubleshooting aspect of it. See something and figure whats wrong, and solutions. But for the rest of the Accounting, wasn't my cup of tea, I eventually started to do bad in school. Then I got severely sick.
Dropped out of college for medical problems... Realized what was important in life and not what was ingraned to be important. Most people supported me when they saw my love and passion for it, some were surprised that I was going to a "lower level" career path.
I decided to become an Aviation mechanic, always been a car guy, I was HUGE into airplanes but eventually realized its sort of a Pipe dream, got more of age and cars were accessible. That was where I went.
I am already FAA Airframe certified to work on anything but Powerplant/Propellars on aircraft, still working on it and will be done in the Summer.
I do not regret my path... My 3/4 background in Accounting REALLY helps me and sets me apart. Its helped me understand finances and costs which in the world of Maintenance makes you invaluable. Most people that work in a Maintenance type field don't care about the cost, just want to get the job done. Which is great, but not the best thing in the real world.
One of my best friends from Highschool got into the same degree as you. I really lost touch with him, but last I talked he is doing good, and is part of the Football program at a small school.

Hey Aviation Mechanic is one hell of a job. My dad has been doing it for 50 yrs. and he makes more money than anyone with a master's degree. He's retiring this year.
Just remember if you love what you do, You will never work a day in your life!
Thats how I have always thought...which is why I am really leaning towards this program...I know when I coach and when I am helping guys in training it is work, but it sure as hell doesnt feel like it...and thats what really makes me enjoy it.
on a side note...I was considering becomeing an aviation mechanic as well...

Its got its ups and downs pluses and minuses, but if things work out well it can be a REALLY good job. I think that is one thing I love about it. Its a job I can have some ambition with and I love it.

Be sure to get yourself into commercial airlines. My dad made 120k last year, that's including overtime. He said, all he does is talk and read newspaper. When an airplane is in the hanger he just do inspection. Rarely does he do any work on them.

How do you get overtime when you do basically nothing?
