Non-Flying... well thats a tad easier..

Try and head into Operations... as a ops controller.. it'll do your head in some days, but you will learn lots!

Or if you really want to start at the bottom, which you might have to, go approach somewhere like Execujet or Hawker Pacific for a Ramp Monkey job... Get you foot in the door and show a interest in the operation.
Thats how I started and eventually I ended up flying one of the bloody things...

Flag the management degree... no amount of aviation management will prepare you for ops! Better to just learn it on the go with the company....
