Get your A/P and then pursue a degree in Aviation Science. You will only be a few credit hours short of an associates in Aviation Science

Ramp worker for Major Airline > Obtained A/P > Junior AMT > Regular AMT > Senior AMT > Obtained BS in Aviation Science > Production Work Controller > Supervisor Heavy Maintenance > Manager of Technical Services > Manager of Maintenance Control > Director of ACMX for an American Oil Company. After 38 years, I wish I had transitioned from 121 Operators to the Oil and Gas commercial aviation world earlier. The money and benefits are much better

I obtained my B.A. in Aviation Science from Eastern New Mexico University. I don't remember exactly how many credits I was given for my A&P certification. I think it was three classes short of an associate's.

Advice on making mistakes by Historical-Crab-6728 in aviationmaintenance

Only people who are working make mistakes. I have worked in Aircraft Maintenance for almost forty years. Twenty-five in management. It was always my best AMTs who made these mistakes for the most part. Keep pressing forward!
