depends on the type of aircraft. you may looking into working for the govt on military aircraft. most composite repairs are due to damage not scheduled maintanance (ie engine overhaul)

At our AMO we have 100 maintenance, 20 Avionics, 10 Structures, 3 Painters and 1 Composite guy. All he does is patch holes in fairings. If the Delam is bad enough we just turf the part. Composites is pretty specialized you would almost have to go to a manufacturer. That crap is nasty stuff, you should put off the cancer. If you want to keep your options open, go into maintenace, in a pinch they can do all of the trades, and release the aircraft!!!

I would suggest that you try speaking to someone at a school that teaches that type of repair work and see how their job placement goes. There is a school that has aviation maintenance known as WyoTech, they have a huge job placement department - so you may want to get in contact with them.

You can always find maintenance work. You just might have to move all around the country to do so like I did for awhile.

there is tons of work if you both know what you are doing
in repair and manufacture. many new aircraft that are in the very light jet type VLJ are all composite construction

There is probably going to be a lot more once Boeing starts delivering 787's.
