As some of you may know I am a time served joiner and I have been in the same job for 7 years now  Although the job is ok im not sure its what I want to do forever. Im not tied down with a mortgage or loans or anything and im 24 so.... The chance has come up to try a 4 year mechanial apprentiship with spirit aerosystems at prestwick airport. http://www.spiritaero.com//Should I go for it??? Im probably just looking for a push into it here though  Ps,anyone working with planes any advice would be much appreciated  |

Didn't Elvis stop at Prestwick? Must be worth a shot, you never know who you may meet I guess you could always go back to joining if it really didn't work out. Follow your heart. Good Luck. |

From someone in light blue, we're very short of them, as are the civvy companies are short of them. At 24, you might want to think about testing the water with the uniformed side first (RAF or AAC) - all the training and licensing comes with it at no extra cost and the money is good fromt the outset - if that doesn't appeal though then go the civvy route.

Been at the same job for 23 yrs.now.Love the job,but it SUCKS !The fun is gone,and the pay sucks worst than ever.
Had a chance to go to work at BellSouth,through a friend 18 yrs.ago.
Was afraid to make a change and leave the comfort and security of what I had.
I still kick my self right in the ARSE every Friday on the way to the bank.
Do not make the same mistake.
Randy
ps I would be retiring in two years.

Go for it, whats the worse that happen. Did my apprentiship at BA - LHR - only building and plant section, should have use it more but it was good. If your getting training and in these times of hardship and unemployment, what have you got to loose? My view -GFI (go for it) Let us know, and we can drink to it at Le Mans!!!! Hang on - does that mean a leaving party and cellebration for you new job at Le Mans this year? And the other thing being a joiner, you are use to working with planes  |

Do it! When I was about 16 I met a man who was in his 80's and he gave me the best piece of advice I've ever had. He said, "You never regret the things you did, but you'll always regret the things you didn't do."

the only chances you will regret later is the ones you don´t take.
it is in the unsecure moments you realy learn who you are.

My advice is to go for it, with things the way they are at the moment you will have a safe job for the years you are training.
Once trained up, my advise is to go contracting, hopefully things in the industry will pick up buy then, its the only way to make good money and see the world with outer people paying you to do it.

Not long now bud Not long now? Brian my guess is that when "not long now" actually becomes "now" you will be as miserable as sin and a short tempered wretched nuisance to those around you, Menorca or not.  |
