Why havent you left the depressing IT field yet LULZ?
Former computer scientist here. In my early 30s i went to tradeschool and i became a airplane mechanic.
I make good money and my work is actually fun.
Its still time.. leave while you can
Based please help me leave
Im so tired of trannies and smelly indians
I hate working in IT
What should i go to school to become ?!?!?!?
Airplane engineer
how long does trade school take?
2 years + apprenticeship
airplane mechanic...there's way too much courses and reading and shit, it's very hard job.
Become a gardener then
I remember after graduating high school I took this certification course at my local community college to help me get a job in IT. Got my certs, ended up with a help desk job at a small manufacturing company. Never felt more depressed in my life. Day after day, coming into work to sit there and stare at my desk. Nothing interesting ever happened. Ended up becoming an electrician after that.
Based you probably save your own life
Desk jobs induce depression. People are meant to be in nature.
how long is ur commute
10 min drive to the airport
Mechanical engineer who can "program" here. It's like having magic powers in my field. You can make macros and visualize data in ways that no one else can think of and get mad rep.
Would love to be a aerospace engineer but im so bad at math
Oh man, I don't know how I did it but with stubborness, I couldn't do a integratel to save my life. No one in the industry uses math after graduating except for the guys who are developing engineering software or involved in some heavy duty simulations.
Nice try, crab, but aviation is the highest bullshit-to-reward ratio industry that exists.
That its pilots not mechanics
We are so critical they treat us like gods
You're just gullible with an easy-to-stroke ego. You would have loved tech. My brother-in-law was a mechanic at Honeywell. They push you to cut corners but it's your ass on the line if you fuck up. They force you to jump through hoops then tell you to jump through them faster. The pay didn't even seem that great considering what you're being asked to do and what the stakes are.
Honeywell is a military contractor. They have the mannerisms of the military.
No
yeah i wish i've focused on rf microwave instead of fpga & embbedded software shit
I work from home every day of the week and make more than most people in my country while doing something I enjoy. I also don't have to take shit from anyone - why would I switch?
Airline mechanic is not a fun job.
>physically very rough since you have to contort yourself to fit in small spaces to repair or install things
>aircraft parts are often very delicate and easily damaged by careless handling, and very expensive on top of it--one broken part can bankrupt a smaller airline
>if you make a mistake and an accident or crash happens you could be in a lot of trouble (the lead mechanic for American Airlines committed suicide after AA 191)
