I assume u are still student right?? what course u took and which uni?? Yeah, this field is really good, can earn good pay and quite interesting too with a lot of traveling (assuming work in consultant company) with a lot of allowance. Mostly for this field u need to know a lot about materials, or simply say if u are a metallurgies, u are suit for this job. I knew a lecturer who is a metallurgies, done a lot of project and act as consultant for a few steel company in malaysia, and NDT is part of his specialty.
