Career Change
I currently work a government job in an office. I’m considering going to school for A&P I have a few friends that are mechanics that have worked in the industry for over a decade and they really enjoy it. I think it would be great to go to work and not sit in an office with a bunch of people playing office politics for promotions that don’t pay that much (government wages). I think it would be satisfying to work with my hands and do something that has obvious results to my labor. The earning potential seems better in aviation as well. Before sharing with my friends my thoughts, I’d like to get your take on if you think someone in their late 30s would be crazy to go to school for 2 years to get an entry level job and would I even make my money back from school before I’m too old and tired to do the job?
