    Yo everyone

    Just want to hear about what parts of the industry you guys/gals work in, what its like and how you got there? I'm about to get out of my time in an engineering apprenticeship, doing my electrical engineering degree atm currently on a comfortable 1st so started looking at masters courses... There's loads! Not sure what industry I wanna get into and I'm with a decent organisation atm just wanna get some ideas. Always wanted to work in the aerospace industry but currently couldn't be working further from it lol.

    Cheers!!!

    :D

    I only done nvq's in electrical engineering as part of my time
    served as a spark but when on to do ten years of aerospace
    engineering.now I work in a hospital and I wouldnt go back to
    that work for three times the wage I was on,I was getting sick
    all the time and had issues with asthma but I was also very stressed
    out and found work a real chore.Now im in the NHS working (for a hell of a lot less)
    but the work is enjoyable,doesnt feel like a chore and I havent had any
    health or asthma problems since, even ran a half marathon which I could
    never have done before.
