Hi there,
I was a LAE for 8 years before I decided to leave the industry. Aviation industry's too volatile at the moment. Cost cuts here and there so I decided to take the plunge and move into the oil & gas industry. I'm now work for GE Oil & Gas as a field service engineer working on heavy duty and aero-derivative gas turbines. The money is much much better than when I was an LAE. They provide all the training that you will need.
My advise for you is do a mechanical engineering degree then join a company like GE or Rolls Royce (they also do industrial gas turbines for o&g industry).
Also your degree will never expire like a license.
