The author’s take was quite fresh and it was very interesting to read about his experiences. I also got my start the same way the author did, but it wasn’t really called an ‘apprenticeship’ back in those days, it was just known as training on the job (same thing). I have decided to follow the author’s advice and using his information I’ve actually found a number of high-paying contracting jobs that I would probably never have thought to look for. I’ve actually never even considered taking those types of positions because I’ve always worked for the same company for long stretches of time (I’ve been with my current employer for over 12 years).
If nothing else, this book has inspired me to advance my career and my pay, and I give it two thumbs up even for that alone. I would recommend this book to both current technicians and also people who are thinking about this career.

I wish this book had been available to me as a student, even before I chose to become an A&P mechanic. Many A&P students are “sold” the idea that it will be easy to find a job, and thus don’t put forth proper effort in their initial training and job searches, assuming that simply having an A&P certificate will result in high-paying job offers. The content about gaining the right experience is a good read and good advice.
If you are an A&P student or young professional, you need this book. It can you time, money, and angst in your job hunt. I will be recommending this book to other people I mentor as a must-read resource.

The author does a great job of offering new and old mechanics a unique strategy for their careers. As the author points out, and something I’d never really thought about before, the aviation industry has changed. It isn’t the same as it was a long time ago when you could go to school, get a job with a big airline, and be set for life.
Everything is evolving and the author has given some good advice on how to make more money in this new field of aviation. It’s something that ALL mechanics should think about...
Yes it would be nice to only work a few months out of the year or even only 6 months of the year, but if there wasn’t any good contracting jobs near my home I couldn’t travel because I have to take care of my elderly parents.
I have had this problem before when looking for work when I worked in home remodeling. You would think that there is always a house around that needs work so I could make money. But a lot of the work I had to travel and it got to a point when I could no longer leave for a week at a time to do jobs.
I guess I am still looking for a way to make good money but not have to go more than a few minutes from my home which I don’t know how to do.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to start an aviation maintenance career or to grow an existing career.
An easy read packed with insightful, useful content.
The only thing I would have liked to see more of is more information on working in countries other than the U.S. The author does discuss this but I wish he would have went into more detail. Great book nonetheless, get it!
