Don't be to hard on yourself not being able to find a job in the UAV field. Their are many of us who are overly qualified (in regards to what they minimum job requirements for a particular job is) and still can't get a job in the UAV field.

I've applied with all of the "big name" UAV suppliers / operators as well as 2 or 3 dozen smaller companies... And have not even gotten a phone call or "thanks but no thanks" letter..
My background is FAA A&P mechanic, Fixed wing Commercial (single and Multi-engine), Instrument, CFI, CFII. 2500+ hrs flight time, 20+ years in RC, Security clearance, and the list goes on and on...


Things will happen when they are meant to happen and sometimes (most times) its not who you are, but who you know.
