Engine Cadets

[greeny8898]

Hi guys, and girls

I?m starting in September on the HND engine course and just wondering what people's backgrounds are... Mainly for the "Workshop" sections. I?m a time served mechanical maintenance fitter/welder working in heavy industry at the moment and have done two seasons working for a sailing company in the med fixing yachts. Be interesting to see what others have done and if there is any difference between the Fd peeps and the HND peeps

Re: Engine Cadets

I guess im probably a bit of an odd one out here! Im a graduate computer artist but a very mechanically minded and abled person. Coming from an engineering background I wanted to do something practical/mechanical after school but was advised at the time to go to university and do something academic. Though I was pretty good at it (I have a 1st Class Honours degree) my heart wasn't in it. After uni and some time travelling around South East Asia I decided I wanted to travel and do sometime in relation to engineering. BANG! And here I am!

I look forward to meeting you all!
