In any place you go, there is dress code to follow. But if u wanna break the rule, go on. Pandai-pandailah cover line and don't be mad if you got saman.
1) UTP through its student internship unit will help student to get internship placement. Don't worry coz UTP student can get internship placement easily due to the university's reputation.
2) Usually get paid but this is not made compulsory by UTP.
3) It is never too late to learn.

You quit before you complete your studies and change course? Aircraft maintenance is quite niche and you have higher chance to get the job. I wonder why.

As for UTP, the reputation is quite high among the industry player but as you aware, the economy is quite slow now and there are a lot of company downsizing. So pray hard that the oil price stabilises once you graduated.

So for me, getting a job is about how you position yourself in the industry and finding the opportunity. Personality and attitude is the key.

Anyway, all the best.
