If you want into aviation management, the route nobody advertises is operations. Start on the airfield. Learn the movement area, the NOTAM system, the grant paperwork, and one winter of snow removal. I have hired two people out of line service and neither had a degree in this. Both were better than the ones who did.

Reading this at the FBO desk and taking it as a career plan. Genuinely did not know the ops route existed.

One winter of snow removal teaches more about how an airport works than any course. That is not a joke, it is a curriculum.
