While becoming a traditional commercial pilot is one option, there are plenty of other careers to pursue with an aviation degree, including:

- Corporate Pilot: Work for the private airlines of big corporations on contract, often in top-of-the-line executive planes.

- Charter Pilot: Think of yourself as an "˜air taxi’ driver, flying paying passengers and cargo for short trips.

- Military Pilot: Join the Air Force or U.S. Navy, and maybe even train as a fighter pilot.

- Flight Instructor: The choice of NMC Aviation’s own educational staff, this career lets you pass on your knowledge to pilots-to-be.

- Seaplane Pilot: Water flying is a great challenge, with water surfaces and conditions constantly changing, not to mention spectacular views.

- Parachute Jumping: Pilot the planes that help so many achieve their dream of parachuting.

- Bush Pilot: Great for the adventurer, bush pilots fly small aircraft into remote areas in places like Alaska or Africa, sometimes even landing on skis.

- Glider Towing: "˜Aerotow’ as the motor that takes ultralight planes and other unpowered aircraft up for their flights.

- Crop Dusting: Help support America’s agricultural industry as well as small farmers.

- Pipeline Surveying: Inspect gas and oil pipe transmissions lines from the air for leaks or damage.

- Aerial Photography: Work for a property developer or architect, or simply take artistic photos of landscapes.

- Aerobatics Pilot: If you enjoy a little circus with your flying, you can also train in aerobatic maneuvers to execute loops and turns.
