Any information on these Air Force careers?
1A131 - Flight Engineer - Chances are you won't be able to get this job straight out of basic you'll need to do at least three years in an aircraft maintenance career field like the last two on your list then you can cross-train into it. There are two types of FE's, helicopter and fixed wing, your job is to get the aircraft ready for flight, coordinate with maintenance to get things fixed, keep an eye of the fuel while flying and other duties dependent on the airframe and yes you fly with the plane where ever it goes. Deployments are usually about 4-6 months for helicopters and C-130s, KC-10s deploy but not as long and C-5 Galaxy's don't deploy (not yet anyways). I do this job and love it. 1C631 - Space Systems Operations- don't know much about this job but sounds like you make sure satellites are operating and send commands to them. Not sure on the deployment rate. 1C531 - Aerospace Control & Warning Systems - not sure 2A331 - Avionics Systems - You'll be working with the instrument systems of the airplane, most of the time you'll just switch out a bad box and put in a new box. Depends on the airplane what systems you'll actually work with. Since this is maintenance you'll deploy with the jets and could be gone as long as they are. 2A333 - Tactical Aircraft Maintenance- Crew Chief on a fighter. You're a gas station attendant, making sure the tires are good, check the oil on the engines, fill it up with gas and clean the windows. Any big problems you'll call on specialist to fix the affected item(s) and you get to hold the flashlight. I was a crew chief on C130s, it was fun but didn't like the long hours and lack of recognition. And yes you will deploy.

How does one start a career in Information Technology? HELP!?
I just began my junior year in college and i'm seeking work experience in the IT field, but MOST jobs and internships want applicants to have years of experience. WTH? I am trying to figure out how to get experience if you need experience for jobs. My goal is to become a Information Security Specialist. Right now i'm studying for my A+ certification and after I will take the Network + certification. Please give me suggestions to begin my career and get experience? I have no experience, what type of job titles should I seek to get experience that doesn't require much experience?
Will an MBA in information systems help advance my career in product management? I have 1 year of experience as a product manager at a startup.
It depends based on your current situation. If you have a job already, than the best way to advance (within the same company) is with your performance. You can increase your performance with education in your field - but that doesn’t necessarily mean formal education or needing to get an MBA. This can be from books, online courses, etc.If you don’t have a job, or are wanting to move to a different company I would suggest you go and find some online job listings in your field for the position you are looking for and read up on what the requirements are. If the requirements are routinely stating the need for an MBA, than it might be needed.But then again, you can just try to apply for those and if you sell yourself enough and have a good record of past production - you could potentially bypass those requirements, depending on the company.
What are my career options after taking information technology degree?
A2AObviously anything IT related, but that covers a wide gamut of topics. Here’s a brief list of ideas off the top of my head:Tech support (not recommended)Sysadmin (Linux pays more)Programmer (if you have the talent for it; self-taught programmers can get just as good of jobs as CS graduates)Network administrator (if you’re interested in that)Pen tester (but you really should get OSCP certified to validate your knowledge)Information security (doesn’t pay as much as it should, IMO)If you work for the government, particularly as a contractor, there are a large number of IT jobs that you wouldn’t think of. My current job is a constructive modeler; I design models and simulations of networks and communication systems. My main work is designing ICS/SCADA models for the military. Never would have thought I’d be doing that.
MBA vs. MS Computer Information Systems - Career Advice?
I am in Sales. I want to break into IT and work with databases or ERP solutions. I have an Associates degree in Business Administration and a Bachelors degree in Information Technology. I am currently on the 2nd class of my MBA. I'm close to 30 and all of my work experience is either military or business related, virtually nothing has been IT related unfortunately. I'm wondering what would be a better degree to hopefully get my foot in the door in IT, hopefully as a DBA. I have plenty of business experience, a B.S. in IT and would have to get certified in some aspect to even be taken seriously on any applications. My questions is, would it be better to obtain a MS in Computer Information Systems or gain an MBA? What would be more appealing to an employer? I would have to compensate for lack of experience but need to know which way to go. Any help is appreciated. I realize I can do both, just not at the same time and I need to make a career move soon. Thanks for any advice.
