An Awesome High School Is Helping Kids Discover Aviation Industry Opportunities

The Aviation Industry Has A Whole Host of Jobs That Need To Be Filled

Being a pilot is not for everyone. Being a pilot is not even for everyone that loves planes. However, how would you know that unless you took a good hard look at the kinds of opportunities that are available to those of us in the aviation industry. Or maybe you'd like to prepare yourself to be a well rounded expert of all things aviation.

It's easy to forget that the first flight took of 110 years ago. To say a lot has changed since then would be one of the major understatements of the last 110 years.

There was a time when you had to make a decision about what your trade would be from a very young age. Whether you wanted to be a pilot or doctor or a lawyer or an entrepreneur or whatever it is that you want to do with yourself, it used to be that you had to start out early.

Increasingly though, as technology and other factors continue to bring big transformations in the ways we live and learn, we can try our hand at an increasing number of jobs before we decide what works.

If you look back on the planes your grandfather or his buddies would have flown, his experience in the cockpit would vary wildly from the technological gadgets and monitoring equipment we've got in jets today. Similarly, the way they used to build airplanes resembled the manufacturing industry at large.

More and more, manufacturing is undergoing similar transformations. Whether it's 3-d printed parts, wind tunnels or other equipment, the future of aviation is increasingly ruled by software engineers.

All this is to say that the kids of Andrews High School, and a growing number of other high schools that specialize in aviation sciences -- from flight simulators to 3-d printers -- are gaining access to the wide world of aviation at an earlier age.

We teach pilots how to fly helicopters and airplanes, but we are only one part of an aviation ecosystem that demands the best talent, so we applaud the efforts of these educators to help us build a stronger industry.
