How do you become a navigator?

[P51 mustang]

I've recently had to come to terms with finding out that I can never be a pilot because my vision isn't up to scratch, so I was considering a career as a navigator. So the big question is: How do I go about becoming a navigator as there don't seem to be courses or degrees for this particular field. Secondly, You don't really hear much these days about navigators on civil aircraft(airlines), are they still in use?

try alternative careers :

steam train driver
miner
blacksmith

Yes they are still in use...but these days we call 'em GPS.

Im afraid that particualr career died a death even before we lost the Flight Engineers.

Nearest you'll get to navigation is sitting in an office trying to decipher the latest RAD from Brussells and then sending the Flight Plan to the pilots.

Let your wife drive and you read the map.

It will do wonders for the petrol bill.
