Hey dude, I put in the 717 and went straight from avionics into the security industry. There is some excellent money to be made if you specialise in the Access Control Industry.Originally Posted by 2much
You should find out who the biggest access control companies are for Tauranga and get talking to them.
The industry is awesome to work in. Changing scenery every day, company car and cellphone saves heaps, and a huge variety of different products to learn that are forever changing.
