Your time will be very appreciated. I am currently looking to change careers and need a some help. I live in Denver, CO and work as a full time airline pilot. Since Sept 11, 2001 the lifestyle as an airline employee has drastically changed, and has left many pilots on the streets do to layoffs. I am looking into going back school at Owens Community College in Toledo, OH to hopefully obtain employment as an agricultural mechanic with a reputable business. I have been around farm equipment all my life while growing up. My problem is I really don't know much about this career. Can you please help me? Here are some questions I have: -How do I get started in this field? -What is the long term career like? -What is the demand like for mechanics of this type? -What does it take to get hired? -What kind of competition would I have with no experience and an Agriculture Technician associates degree? -What kind of trades would you recommend I study? -What is the pay longevity like? -What are the work hours like? -Any other information will be helpful. Thank you for your time.
