not degree, juz a dip. tried degree in mech before dat tho, which make this dip quite a flyby
it's dip in aircraft mantenance. plan to continue degree but maybe a bit later..juz a personal goal.

in this company, i heard there are some rise in tech level but top out at a bit more than rm2k for basic. i guess an engineer earns rm4-8k? enlight me...btw im in general aviation area. no airliners, juz some private heli n planes, maybe a few datuks here n there

there are lots of school for ppl to become aircraft engineer. but first u need to clarify what exactly u wanna be. do u wana be engineer who design the aircraft, mods, study the stress, strain effect on it OR u wanna be engineer who maintain the aircraft. to be the first engineer, go for aerospace/aeronautic degree in any uni is good enuf. to be the second engineer, u can go to for my place, unikl-MIAT, which i bet most advantagous compared to other local school. for oversea, i suggest look in UK, start with kingston U or glamorgan.
