I'm interested in working for a FBO at the local airport on nights and weekends. Can this create an opportunity for me to move into an entry level position with the main airport and eventually move my way up the ladder to an airport management position?

I've always had an interest in working for an airport, but I don't know exactly how to do that. This question was posted by a CareerVillage administrator on behalf of the students of CareerVillage. #aviation #airline-industry #fbo
