I'm a college boy meow.

[2011GT]

Today was my first day of classes. I'm 30 years old and have already been in my current career for 12 years (licensed aircraft mechanic). I originally had/have planned to be an aeronautical engineer but not so sure I want to do that now. It seems it's not a very stable job as my company, Bombardier, just laid off 1000 people and a large portion of that was engineers...

Anyways what's a good white collar and stable career field and what degree would I need to get into that field?

Advancement and stability don't always go hand in hand. Just go for what you want, and roll with the punches.

LOL!!!

Best of Luck!! I'll probably be retiring this year.. Tired of the 3 ring circus....

Mechanical engineering is a very broad career with a decent income and stability. You can make in the six figures relatively quickly, but your stability will depend heavily on performance of you and your company much more at higher incomes. You could also work in an aero field with an ME DEGREE.

But I would say medical is a bit more solid and easier to find stability and relatI very high pay together. Be a PA or NP

Just stay in aviation ,but get off the floor. Look at management or QC. I have a friend that used to be a mechanic on my crew but got his engineering degree at UTA. Now He works at bombardier on the lear 85 program.

Pretty much any engineering degree will treat you well. Also finance majors are doing well now. Not sure how the future will be for them. Good for you dude!

The hydraulic industry pays well and a lot of mechanics already know a lot more than most already in the field. I work with aeronautics, mining, O&G, construction, industrial, etc. so I do not feel the roller coaster as much as people that only work with one market. Best part is you can make more money than those with secondary degrees.

Unless you plan on getting your PhD do not go in aeronautical engineering, almost impossible to get a job without one. If you are dead set on an engineering degree mechanical is the most versatile, if a school offers it mechatronics is the coming wave.

I'm guessing you didn't hear: 85 program has been "paused" indefinitely. I'll hazard another guess that his resume has been recently updated.
