Hope you're not smoking that stuff while you're on the ramp.

I mentioned elsewhere that if you're not going flying then career prospects are limited. I will add something if I may.
If you are willing to start in either check-in or res and work your way through to supervisor level, the world is your lobster.
Next step in most outfits is some sort of DM level but the mere fact that you have gained contact with SLF, know the product etc, you are on the right road - seen it time after time. Automated Check-in - remember that one - get some in. I was in Ops for eight years and the next step you were expected to take was flight planning after some poor old sod had popped his clogs. I have since seen people on the Airport Services side rise to DM after 4 years - not 'graduate calibre' and no in-house accelerated promotion scheme (although I did see this system operate many years ago - great if you can get on such a scheme - a chap I went to school with and worked in Ops with is now UK big chief for US carrier). Ranting again - must go - remember - get a bit of pax servs behind you if you can. (and giz a job when you see me next).
