Is being an electronic technician a good field to get into?

So i want to get into the aviation career field as an aircraft maintenance technician?

  • but i honestly have no idea what university offers any major in it or what college? ill prefer a university sense one of my dreams is to be the first in my family to attend a university. and any info on the career would be thankful(:

  • Answer:

    Why not become an aerospace engineer? The pay is so much higher and you get to design the plane itself, but few universities offer that. Avionics technicians though can probably get degrees in probably most colleges, but all they do is fix planes. Both sound like fun so good luck

You don't need a college degree to become a licensed aircraft mechanic (A&P), and a degree won't help you to find a job in the field. There are dozens of technical schools and community colleges across the country where you can complete the required training and graduate with the basic licenses within 18-24 months. Any more time spend in school after this is a total waste of your time and money.

A buddy of mine is currently taking an aircraft mechanics course at BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology). You would have to find a trades school of some sort for it. If you're still in high school talk to your school councillor and s/he can point you in the right direction. On a side note, my buddy says he loves the course of the pay can be quite impressive. It obviously goes up over time but don't expect to make a huge amount of money while you're still an apprentice. I've been told that you can eventually be making about $100,000 a year. People who do jobs that allow no room for error tent to make a lot of money. Pilots don't appreciate it very much when the mechanic screws up.
