A -Take a vow of abject poverty.

B - Decide how you want to achieve abject poverty:
1) by working on airplanes under the direct supervision of an A&P for 3
years 
(2 years if you want only an "A" or a "P")
2) by selling everything you have and using the proceeds to enroll in an 
approved A&P school. (Plan on 18 - 24 months with no income.)

After completing one of the above, take a written test (actually 3 written

tests) from the FAA followed by oral and practical inquisition (actually
3, plan 
on 3 days) from a Designated Mechanic Examiner.  (Don't forget to escrow 
enough money to pay for the testing...

If you get this far, you then need to try and secure employment, and
remember 
that the folks who are supposed to be paying you for your sacrifice and 
devotion want nothing more than to have you fix/inspect/license their
aircraft at 
the risk of your license, reputation and financial well being, and want to
part 
with none of their own money in the process.  Practice explaining why a
fuel 
filter costs $500.00 and takes 2 hours to replace...  Or were you
considering 
working for an airline?

Still interested?
