BigBlueBeast:
Hey guys. I have recently been signed off work with dermatitis. I am in the RAF at the moment as an Aircraft Technician Mechanical (Gas Turbine fitter/ Airframe Fitter). I now have dermatitis on my hands, and am due to leave in 20 months.

Does anyone know what I could look at doing when I am out? I dont like admin jobs (sitting in an office, or things like that), I am a fully hands on person. I have been breaking things and putting them back together since before I can remember!

I want to carry on being an engineer or technician or something like that, but can't handle oils, fuels, greases, cleansers, sanitizers etc.

Please help.

Craig.

Disco Matt:
What about going into something like IT or auto electrics/in car entertainment installation? Both would be hands-on skilled work and you wouldn't need to handle oils or greases.

sv130:
 Auto electrics would be good as it can get very technical if you want it to, also intruder alarm fitting can be quite interesting and varied, its very hands on with none of the oils and greases that are associated with engineering,
 Have you thought about teaching?
 Passing your skills to others is very satisfying.

BigBlueBeast:
Auto electrics is something I enjoy doing, but how would I go about getting into it without any provable experience? I have thought about teaching, but I am not really one who feels comfortable in standing up and telling people what I know!!

Does anyone know of any courses for installs, or any companies looking for someone to work for them installing alarms, stereos etc?

No one is!! But it is something you learn. I used to be a trainer (adult version of teacher) and first time I was stood in front of a group of people was very nerve wracking.  By the end of the first week is was just what I did...  If that's the only worry you have about being a teacher, then go for it ;)

If your anywhere near liverpool I'm sure that there's plenty of people who'll show you how to remove alarms and stereos...
