Just to expand a bit since I didn’t have the time when I posted, I’m looking for a new career and aircraft mechanics are moderately in demand in my area.
There are two Part 147 AMTS schools nearby, one is a program for high schoolers exclusively and the other plainly states the program is $35000 in total. For comparison. In state tuition costs for an Aerospace engineering degree at a nearby university are around $27000 for four years. You could learn to design aircraft cheaper than to repair them. Even worse is the mechanic jobs don’t pay so great. I see a lot starting around $18/h.
