Hi. I am due for superannuation by next year after serving in defence. I have a rich experience in management of aeronautical systems and program/project management. I am trained instructor for engineers also. I intend to pursue my second career in the field of technical education/ management. I am in the process of finding the most suitable field to pursue my second career. Could you advice on the career options. In addition should I undergo any certification courses in the field of my choice. Thank You.- J
