Course Correction?
Dec. 2nd, 2005 01:09 amHey.
In the interest of broadening my horizons, today I went to the Morristown Technical Center's Aviation Maintenance hangar/classroom to talk with instructors about the possibilities. At first, I thought if I got a general Av.Maint. ticket I could maybe stretch my extant A.S. in Aviation Managment into a Bachelor's...but of course it doesn't work that way.
With courses I already have on my transcript, I would need perhaps 10 or more credit hours in things like Business Ethics and Managment Theory, and then the full Airframe & Powerplant program--to get an A.S. in Av.Maint. Management...and then move on to a B.S. program. And then where would I be as far as a career path is concerned? Could I move on with the obsolete and unused A.S. degree in my hands?
I hate having to take jobs that are completely unsuited for me...and having them waste me within a year. I know nobody's going to hire me for what I did last--Heck, if I were looking at somebody else with my record I wouldn't hire him!--so I need to find a way out.
