Hi All,

Hoping to get some advice about where to begin in the aviation industry following a BA in Criminology. I picked up the interest of aviation just a couple years ago, and now am fascinated with it. I would like some advice on where to start. I have an interest in eventually becoming a Flight Dispatcher or possibly some business-oriented position within an airline. What's my best bet for starters? Should I start off by becoming a ramp agent and eventually work my way up? What steps would you take? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

As an aviation student myself, I can only tell you to go out and research what it is you want to do. I attend Bowling Green State University. We have a Tech/Ops program and a management program. Both BA's in Science. The page is http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/technol.../Undergraduate/Aerotech/index.html

It is a lot of fun and really interesting.

If you have any questions, send me an IM here.

Hey,

Good choice to go with aviation. I am currently a student at the University of Oklahoma majoring in Aviation. And yes, aviation is pretty tuff to get into. WHO you know is what really counts. As a student, we are provided internship opps for college students. And since you have already attended college I don't know how that will work out.

I interviewed with ExpressJet Airlines (Continetnal Express) yesterday for internship possibilities and there were a few older men applying for man/opps posistions. But like I said, the interview was never posted on the website and I had to get the information from my advisor. Well hope that helps and good luck!!
