Good to know :D you didn't get into the aviation industry, or is your signature just leading me off? I think I remember talking to you - IMD right?
 
Nope i always said I would do my degree first (comp sci) and then maybe apply for air traffic control. We'll I got a job on the day my results came out and its pretty decent starting wage so i can't face taking a reduced salary to start ATC training and definitely have no money for pilot training. Saying that though either of those jobs would be a dream - only problem with ATC though is that all the jobs are in England or Scotland and no way I'm going there. Think will just have to keep the flying as a hobby! I think i was speaking to you on here before but can't be sure. You a j'towner too being just up the road from it?

Aviation interests me greatly too, though not so much the actual flying part! I'm a Queen's student doing my masters in Comp Sci too. Currently on my placement year in Dublin and loving it! I would just love to get a job to do with planes and computer - like avionic systems etc. Only time will tell and we'll see once I've completed the degree if I still want to get into that field. These days I've been doing a lot of work on network security and various other stuff which I greatly interested in too.

Can't wait to get into a job though and be earning some real money... £14,000 down here in Dublin doesn't go far, beleive me!!
 
aww nice one mate - i did my placement with Microsoft in South Dublin. Brilliant Year but like you say its so expensive. Thats why I chose to look for jobs up here rather than go back down there. Aviation is an amazing hobby - unfortunately there isn't too much exciting happening in our skies at all apart from the odd tornado floating around every few weeks or so. Computing + aviation job would be fun. If you find one get in touch! I worked many summers up at Aldergrove and not really too many jobs i'd do apart from ATC and flying. Aircraft engineering be good too but thats too big a career change to consider and also I wouldn't want to give up my monday-friday job for lots of weekend and nightshift work! Good luck with the placement!
