Mikex, Thanks for the companies you suggested. I'll check them out. I also intend sending CVs to the top 10 Imaging companies in the UK.

Why I choose this path is because I want to be highly skilled and also have an internationally recognized skill. I believe with the right training I would be able to overcome the issues and stress that I often read about in this field. The only software experience I have is programming PLCs and carrying out simulations. Yes I consider myself reasonably good with may hands.

Packaging machinery service engineer is another field service engineer is another area I might consider if this one does not go well but I also do realize you have to travel globally sometimes as opposed to medical engineer who may travel within a country or occasionally abroad. Gate automation, ticketing machinery is another area I may consider. But the ticketing machine guy must be making more than £60,000 per year including overtime. Medical field service engineers are on about the same aren't they?.

Are there any areas you can suggest for a HND Electrical and Electronics guy like me? I have considered multi skilled service engineer but I don't like going to work in the same place day after day or for years. I'll be bored. The job I do has to be travelling from place to place.

You guys are making me nervous.
