Wherever aircraft go, you can probably find aviation jobs there!
And, you can get a lot of variety! From the huge aircraft such as the Boeing 747s or 767s to the small aircraft such as a Cessna 172, someone has to fly them, maintain them, fuel them up, and deal with the cargo or passengers. In fact, for every pilot job, there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, support jobs for that pilot and the aircraft. Whether at the ticketing counter, or in the baggage handling area, or in the repair and maintenance shops, or in the air traffic control tower.... yup. Lots of jobs!
If this isn't enough to get you interested, you can also find a lot of aircraft jobs in any of the branches of the military--although the Air Force would be the first that comes to mind. (Remember, however, that you have Navy, Army, and Marine aircraft... and the Coast Guard has aircraft, too!) ... And, think about this... the many different law-enforcement agencies will also have aircraft ranging from helicopters to jets. Oh yes, even the television and radio news stations have their own aircraft--usually for traffic watch, but also for being able to get to "breaking stories" quicker.
This Squidoo lens will provide some information on these exciting and widespread career opportunities.

And you'd be surprised how you get these jobs!
My brother-in-law got a degree in electrical engineering... and landed a job working with a major airline providing his services in fixing and maintaining the electrical systems in passenger jet aircraft at a large airport. He'd work in the aircrafts' cockpits as well as in the areas where the wires led to all the other systems in the aircraft.
Then, my daughter started work as a clerk-receptionist at a flight-training school at our local airport. After a few years there, she now works as an operations manager for the facility and is able to go up in the aircraft--ranging from acrobatic byplanes and Cessnas to Soviet-era jets. And this is part of her job!
And then, my son, joined the U.S. Air Force, and through the excellent training they have provided for him, he now repairs and maintains large jet aircraft.
