9 - Processing, Manufacturing & Utilities

In high school I didn't like English. I couldn't sit down and read and didn't like writing poems or essays. I liked science because of the hands-on experiments, and gym.

I took trades-related courses like engine fundamentals for automotive and welding in high school to try to figure out what I wanted to do. I also took a pre-trade program for students going into the trades. I studied in the morning and in the afternoon I worked at Jackson's Air Service as an aircraft maintenance engineer trainee. But I learned I'd rather fly aircraft than fix them.
