Career View
My career aspirations have not changed since the beginning of the semester. I still want to work in management or dispatch.
I don't think my career aspirations have changed because I have been set for a while on what I want to do. I was very interested in ATC but I knew I was too old to begin a career with ATC. The speakers were all very informative, and i learned a quite a bit about other areas in aviation that may be options. I did like the Express Jet Pilot's information, even though I don't want to fly it was good information about pilot pay. I always though it was much worse starting off, not just a one year pay. I liked the stories on how a few of the speakers never even considered aviation as a career choice and either fell into it or changed areas of studies for it.
Four specific career goals in the next five years for me are:
1. Obtain my dispatch license
2. Take a leadership role at my current job
3. Get a job working in dispatch
4. Obtain a private pilot license

I am in the same boat as you, I found ATC to be a great career but sadly I am too old to begin a career with them as well.. It was interesting to hear all the different stories about how the guests ended up where they are at and how they got there. You have chosen some great career goals, best of luck in the future!
ReplyDeleteHaving a private pilot's license is a great asset in the management world, as well as the dispatch certificate. Even if you don't work in dispatching specifically, it provides a great background and is a valuable credential.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are able to find a decent job in the aviation industry and enjoy doing what you do. It is always good to have options and things to fall back on.
ReplyDeleteBecoming a pilot is a great add on to any job as even with just a private pilot certificate you are able to fly for work as long as it's not your primary job there.
It was interesting to hear all the different sides of aviation in this class. I think your goals that you have are very realistic and you will accomplish them. Then you can have the addiction of flight and get your instrument rating after private maybe. Best of luck.
