Hello all. I could use some career advice. I have previous experience as an aircraft mechanic in the Marine Corps, technician at aircraft engine overhaul facility, quality inspector at same facility, and currently internal auditor (a little over 1 year) at ISO 9001 certified industrial gas turbine overhaul facility. I just finished my B.S. in Aviation Maintenance Management. So far, working in QA at this company isn't what I had hoped for. I am truly interested in quality principles, but I don't see hope at my current organization. There might be potential for me to become the quality manager here when my boss retires (5 years?), but I am smart enough to know that there is no guarantee.
I would appreciate some advice on a career move. I try to be patient with my current company, but I really don't think they are really interested in continual improvement. I don't know if I want to put all my effort (and stress) into maybe becoming quality manager, only for an organization that really isn't supporting quality.
I guess what I am looking for is advice on what someone with my qualifications can shoot for. It seems like most jobs I look at require an engineering degree which I don't have.
Thanks
