Non-Aviation Jobs for Jobless Pilots -Any ideas?
With the huge slump in the pilot market, I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a non-aviation job where their aviation background was actually respected.
I'm finding in my quest to pay the rent that most non-aviation employers aren't too fond of my aviation background. I think on a personal level they're impressed by it all -but at the same time they're saying why would we want to hire you when we have 50 other applicants who would be interested in staying for a long period of time.
Background: CPL/ME IR Instructor, Bachelors degree from a large, respected university.
Degree was in a non-applied field. Dumb dumb me!
Any ideas? Gotta pay that rent.
Cheers
