He wants to go to school for Engineering, deciding between mechanical and aeronautical.Alright, then he will be fine. It's still hard to get a job with out any experiance, but his school might be able to place him somewhere. I got lucky and they took my Autobody experience. So I didn't have to go to school for any of it. I'm pretty Sure I could go take the A right now and pass it. The P would be a bit harder, but with some study I could pass that too. It's just these schools don't like people to just take the test, So they are dicks when you do it with out the school and are harder on you when you go to the practical part of the test.
Right now he's finishing an A&P program.
Once he lands a job he should take advantage of their college programs. My work pays 10,000 a year for a 3.0 average and has a deal where you only have to work 30 hours a week.
