Despite what everyone thinks, Gas turbine tech have a more steady career path than a AME.
when I graduated i tried to get a job with MTU and Standerdaero but they don't like to hire AMEs because when we find a better job we just quit and move on. in the end whats valuable is TC's ame license right? and working in a GT shop does not fill our log book. but they jumped all over the GT tech grads because they know they cant really go anywhere. different career path
Working in a engine shop only will get you a shop certificate, aka the SCA. and it varies from shop to shop company to company. so, sad to say, they got you by the balls to stay there for the money. (because if you quit and goes to an other company you have to work again like a learner til you get SCA. if you got offer a higher paying job than that's different.)
GT tech make a little less than AME but a little bit more steady career path. trade off, life, always is. but hey, you could be the next big boss there right? you never know.
Just make sure this is something that you want to do. that's all.
on the positive side. MTU just hosted a job fair.
