 You either got a normal 8am-4pm job or you got a 5-5 job  Everything varies where and who you work for  You can work up north where your working 12 hour days, with overtime you could work for like 13 or 14 hour days

 I am interested in airplane/helicopter mechanics because it would be pretty cool to work on big machines like planes and helicopters  I also get to learn about the mechanics and the physics about flying and planes and that would be cool and I get to use my hands a lot too

 Grade 11 English  Grade 11 Math Applications or Principles  Grade 11 Science Physics  I also have to get 77% in all my classes

 The salary for a airplane/helicopter mechanic can range from thousand dollars a year  The future outlook for planes is that there will always be jobs for it but its not a huge trade that everyone can get into because it’s limited

 The working conditions is in a shop environment so it wouldnt be cold and if I had to go outside I would just suck it up and go do the job I got to do.  I would be working with a group of guys in the same shop unless I was working by myself and have my own business.
