Considering a career in skydiving
Tom_Kennedy replied to Tom_Kennedy's question in Questions and Answers
I see your point and I'll certainly make note of it! The problem is I have already have received a University level education, and currently have a well-paid job, but I'm miserable. I'd much prefer a job I enjoy that pays less, even if it doesn't involve skydiving. Just exploring different options. -
Considering a career in skydiving

Really appreciate your answer, I'll definitely take all this into consideration! Thanks! -
Hi! I'm 23 and from the UK. I have no skydiving experience, however, once it's safe and possible to do so, I want to take my AFF course and get my A license. What I want to know is how can I turn this into a career and how long will it take? Also, what kind of jobs (if any) can I get with an A license? I know before becoming an instructor I would need to start with a basic instructor rating, and I think I'm right in saying I would need 2 years in the sport with x amount of jumps depending on the instructor rating? Is there any skydiving related jobs I would be able to do within that 2 years? So for example let's say I've just got my A license, would I be able to help out at a dropzone and boost up my number of jumps? If yes, what kind of jobs? Could I be a videographer or would I need a certain license to do that? I understand that I've asked quite a lot of questions but would appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
