Unfortunately the “trolls” as someone put it did find their way into this thread.
The bickering between NB, PR, jsmetal….and Stumper is typical on this type of subject but it’s easy to figure out the theme of their posts if you read closely and follow their history of posts throughout this site.
Forgive me all but I still don’t see the problem with anyone giving positive feedback to someone that has seemingly made up their mind as to what they want to take after high school. ( as the originator of this thread has, I think, if you read his/her question)
The majority of posters on this thread did say good things and that they have had both good and bad experiences. This I believe to be true as with every industry people will succeed and people will fail. Some will like what they do and some won’t. Some do it for money and some for the money and for the fact that they enjoy it. And really, some hate everybody and everything about it.
I still haven’t seen any post that NB wrote saying that the industry was “all roses”. I’ve only seen him/her comment on their personal experience. I don’t think there is any reason to doubt it, it seems genuine. But when someone attacks them for just being positive and then attacks their opinions for really just being theirs, it’s easy to make choices on who to take seriously and who to believe.
If someone has taken the time to join and attend Air Cadets then that person probably has some sort of passion concerning aviation. Why should anyone try to change that? I wish I had a passion for something when I was young. Encouraging passion is how the world was built. It’s how man has developed as we have. It’s why we can fly!
Now for the quotes,
Want worse news? Governments are allowing work to be sent abroad.
-Unfortunately this is not confined to aviation so don’t think that getting into another field will change that.
-There are lots of jobs in aviation that don’t include night shift.If you are looking at a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 lifestyle then I would look at another career choice.
Oh yeah, Im writing this from beautiful 04:52 am grave yard shift.
Greatly rewarding, yeah, thats it..
I guess I need to set my expectations lower.
-Writing in a forum during their shift promoting a book that shoots the industry down in which he/she is currently making a living. The irony here is hysterical.
Realize that aviation often like the market, sees and feels the economic slow downs first.
-The only comment I have on this one is “I beg your pardon sir?”
Stay away from schools that do both at the same time...this is not a good model
-Maybe not in your opinion but there have been great people come out of there
Ok, i know its your opinion but i have never heard someone say that BCIT produces the best apprentices...ever. I went to BCIT
-Again, irony, hysterical
I have met many great graduates from Canadore, SAIT, NAIT and BCIT and would recommend any of those schools.
-Need I say more?
Anyways, you may not want to hear this NeverBlue but i have made a good living at this, i work a week on week off schedule and i get wicked benefits and ok pay, and i'm good. So bite me.
- I’m not sure what his/her point is as that’s what I think NB was saying as well
You're obviously at the intelligence level expected of a bcit instructor you fucking retard.
-Not sure who he’s actually calling this name but completely inappropriate and insensitive to everyone viewing this thread.
-Now some may not get a “boner” every time they touch an airplane, but some might and I’d rather have the guy with the boner working on my aircraft…metaphorically speaking of course.I was purely motivated by financial gain, not potential erections due to aircraft contact.
" I've gone to school but I can't get a job no one will hire me boo hoo... I've been waiting by the phone but it won't ring.. Boo Hoo Hoo
..welcome to the real world
- This one makes you look like an ass. It’s reality but not very funny as unemployment in this country climbs closer to 10%
I’ve been in aviation many years. Ups and downs, of course there are but any industry will have their share. The passionate ones usually stick it out and succeed as a result.
Good Luck crazygood150. God Speed
