Hello clicker5-ga,
The Web offers wonderful resources for career exploration. The
Occupational Outlook Handbook is a great place to start. You can look
up industries (air transportation) and get a great perspective on the
jobs in that industry, what they pay, the expected rate of growth and
links to specific jobs. Many universities and colleges also provide
lots of career exploration information. Professional associations and
government agencies also usually include career information on their
sites. There are also portals for general industry information and job
boards for every imaginable career specialty. I’ve collected a
sampling of all of these for you. Each of the resources I’ve shown
leads you to further links where you can look at detailed information
on a wide variety of jobs in the air transportation industry.
I notice from your prior questions that you’re interested in aviation.
I hope you will find these resources useful. Happy exploration!

Hello clicker5-ga,
I'm a little confused about your rating a comment.
-----------------
Hello rainbow
Thank you.
Great answer.
This will sure keep me busy.
Thanks again.

Rainbow asked for the clarification but I answered the question. Also,
two stars and "great answer" seem contradictory. In any case, it was
fun to do the research and I hope it will keep you busy with
interesting explorations.

Hello czh-ga:
I just got home from work, and found all of the mistakes I made with
this question.
I apologize to rainbow for using the name incorrectly.
I apologize to you (czh-ga) for not using your name on the rating.
I apologize for the two stars, instead of the five stars, as I
intended.
I asked this question late last night, just before going to bed.
I looked at my computer early this morning, before going to work.
I was pleasantly surprised to find my question answered in such a rich
and complete way.
I started to read several of the very interesting websites, and soon
found that I was going to be late for work. I was in a hurry, and
made the above mistakes.
I am going to try to contact Google Answers, and see if I can change
the number of stars from two to five.
I allow myself one mistake each year. And now, here it is only
January, and I have used up about three years of my allotment. I sure
need to be careful for the next several years.

Hello czh-ga:
I e-mailed, and asked how to change the 2 stars to 5 stars.
Here is their answer:
------------------
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, ratings cannot be changed.
However, you can post a follow up clarification explaining that you had
intended to provide a 5-star rating for the answer you received.
