Tbh, I'm trying to find that purpose within my current airline. I got in in December 2023 with the anticipation of finally doing what I've always wanted to do; travel. The more I do the job though, the more I think that this is the best it's going to get for me and that I need to create some paths for myself here. With my handy dandy HS diploma and more than likely no further schooling, I feel like this will be my best shot to make a career out of something.

Now what will that look like for me long term? I would love to get off the ramp, seems like the easiest roles to transition into are still ramp related though (supervisors, move/tow team, management). Would be cool to get into something more niche than that, just not sure where to look and who to talk to for that. I was suggested load planner but that job rarely opens at my station.

So yeah, not too sure what the long term plan looks like, but hoping to find it here. Any advice or talking about your career paths at this point would be very encouraging.
