The college that I went to, Parks College of St. Louis University, offers a great Aviation Mangament program. I would look into something like that as a long term aviation career. You can always work as a ramp/customer service agent while you are in school. That is what I did. But you really wouldn't want to do those jobs as a long term career. They would give you a good idea of how an airport runs from the worker perspective.

http://www.flightinfo.com is a great aviation resource.

You might want to look into working as a baggage handler or passenger service agent. I worked as both for a few years and really enjoyed it. Obviously the flight benefits are the best part of the job!! I know CareerBuilder.com has many airport related jobs currently posted.

Career in the aviation industry?
I'm interested in moving into a career in the aviation industry. I'm looking to do something other than pilot an airplane. Does anyone know of resources available to research the field? What sort of opportunties are there in the aviation industry? I'm specifically interested in working within an airport environment.

Thanks.
