Aviation Maintenance fetches a 'shocking' paycheck
According to a recent Yahoo-Education issue titled, Five Shocking Paychecks:
"A vocational school training program can land you a solid living as an aircraft mechanic. The $40,000 to $80,000 earnings range reflects the specialized training required to perform avionics repair and maintenance. Aircraft mechanics inspect landing gear, instruments, cabin pressurizing systems, aviation electronics, and more.
The Lowdown: The FAA certifies 170 trade schools to train aircraft mechanics in the craft. Most programs take 19 to 24 months to complete, although some schools offer 2- and 4-year degrees in avionics or aviation technology.
Average Salary: $49,670 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2007).
Even in the midst of a struggling economy, strong salaries are cropping up in the most unexpected places. Choose the right blue collar job, and you could be earning an upwardly mobile income. Choose the right education or creative profession, and you could turn a "labor of love" into labor for good money.
Choose the right industry, and you could be earning much more for the same work. Surprising salaries aren't hard to come by: simply find a high-demand niche, get the education to fulfill the job requirements, and start earning what you're worth."
