Mythbusters like jobswhat are thay?

[rotorhead]

Hi everyone,

I am a mature person who is mid life and has been in at least three different careers. My Myers-Brigs state I am a INTP personality type. With my colors stating that I am a Green,Orange,Gold,Blue.

I have been a helicopter tech in the USAF, a avionics graduate from a civilian FCC certified program. When the aviation sector crashed in the 90s, worked as a auto mechanic. I have worked in the fields of IT testing and IT support for a number of years but it was boring!.

So, I have always enjoyed mythbusters series and thought, I would love to do similar work like that! . And I was wondering what types of material stress testing jobs are there in the industry? I imagine, working for a DOD civilian contractor would be the way to go and a university degree may be required.

I currently live up here in Vancouver BC. The academic requirements are a bit different. There are programs that can teach students in the area of Technologist. A technologist is between a mechanic/technician and that of a engineer.

So would like to get your input in this area. I am not ready for a four year degree, but perhaps two year program that can lead me into a position that is always changing.

I like working with my hands, and outdoors or indoors when conditions are not warranted to work outdoors , or in a open environment like a hanger.

Your response is much appreciated!

My goodness! Please please don't tell me you are basing your career or life decisions on this pseudo scientific nonsense! A myth worth busting in it's own right. You are whatever you are, why is this relevant?

I don't really think there are any Mythbuster-like jobs. I know the guys have a background in Hollywood special effects so you might want to look into that. Really though from the sounds of it I bet you'd be happy to be an engineer.

I hope you get better responses. The two above clearly didn't read your post.

Have you ever heard of quality control? Google it, this may be what you are looking for but I am not sure.

What of you joined a local Aviation Restoration Museum? I'll bet they would sacrifice small mammals for your skills.

such a simple question to ask. I can think of three of perhaps a hundred examples that I may not know of.

- Quality control of a product - thanks for the info!
-Perhaps working for UL laboratories
-Working for the crash center for GM
-DOD explosives ordinance testing by a civilian contractor

Here in Vancouver BC Canada, there are no related DOD defense related companies. So would have to look for alternative companies to work for unless I move to California or New Mexico.

Wow indeed. I didn't read the post but by chance, he asked about a mythbusters type job, and it just so happens my random post told him to get a job with mythbusters.

Your response was a lot better, very helpful.
