Troubleshot The health issues I have read about are the thing that worries me the most and I was really expecting to hear more about the issue when I started this thread. I have read all about tricking the circadian rhythm but haven't tried to yet. Did you try and fool your body into thinking it was...

dashx Single, separated, and divorced do not share a common definition and they defiantly aren't the same. Are you really trying to claim that as a divorced/separated guy your life is the same as a single guys? Or that even if your kids don't live with you, you shouldn't care for and support them? r...

Wow this was quite the read. I find it weird no one has brought up the skills of an AME. In terms of working a job that allows for the development of so many different skills. Some of the AMEs I know are incredible craftsman, they understand so many different components and systems and have the skil...

Gyvair Thanks for the post, do you think its because some AMEs are so exhausted that vegging out with some xbox is all they can manage? I have never been that type of guy and I'm hoping most people do that because that's just what so many people do now. I'm in college and its tough enough now to dra...

Hey dashx Since your not single or without children, I'm not sure why you answered. The question had qualifiers for a reason but, alright. See i'm trying to get opinions from people who are ahead of me in life but maybe following a similar path. This site is an excellent gathering place for AMEs and...

Hey Nightshiftzombie Thanks for the reply I love to travel too. I do a lot of hiking, and paddling and can't wait to get out to some great international destinations. I would really enjoy hearing about some of your travels and more about your career if you are interested in sharing. If you prefer to...

Thanks for the info Fixnfly, I am looking forward to having time to spend on hobbies and projects. What kinda painting are you doing? I do some airbrush pieces in my time off but its a hobby I could really use more time to work on. Thanks for the response, I appreciate the opinion.

Could you elaborate as to how night shifts screw up you life as a single person with no kids? I have read a lot of the arguments for it but most of them have to do with never being home for the family. I would also like to add that the question has nothing to do with lifestyle choice for medical rea...

Do night shifts bother you? What about being laid off? Is it such a big deal if you don't have a family to feed? Do any of you find it difficult to live comfortably on a AME wage?

Thanks for the info, I intend to avoid the airlines that's for sure, I don't see the adventure value in it. I do appreciate the standard warnings and making a destiny thing. I appreciate it, I really do and I don't want to sound ungrateful but its not really what I was looking for. I want to know wh...

I will be graduating in the springtime from an Ontario college and I am trying to figure out how to go about finding a good mentor in the aviation industry. I'm looking to get opinions from some adventuring AME's, guys who have worked in some extreme places or conditions and really love doing so. I ...
