The only glitch 350, is that the IA that signs the letter confirming your experience has to be able to state that the work was done "under the supervision" of someone with an appropriate rating. You have to be careful in how you word the letter so that neither one of you is stating something that is untrue. That said, the written tests for the A&P are easy if you study the Gliem books a week prior to each test.
I took a week long course to prep for and take the IA test and actually scored 100% on it (which is rare because there is usually a couple of bogus trick questions that you have to guess on, I got lucky and must have guessed right). Everyone in the class passed but I was the only one who was not employed full time as a mechanic or technician as my day job. Point to all this back patting being is that the tests are relatively easy, getting the authorization to take the tests is the hard part.
I really enjoy working on airplanes and cars for that matter, but I just can't toss out my 15 yr engineering job with good benefits when I have a wife and kids to provide for.
