It’s been pulling on me for quite a while now, and a couple of months ago I made my decision. Aviation isn’t what I want to do for the rest of my career. It actually is very confusing as I love being at an airport, I love aircraft and everything that comes with it. But on the other hand, working in an environment that is build on departure times and responsibilities going up to people’s lives just doesn’t fit me. Also the theoretical side isn’t a challenge at all.

Before I started studying Aviation Operations at the ROC van Amsterdam, I attended an IT college. And for me it’s a logical step to go back to my other passion: Computers and Internet. Even though I was studying Aviation I’ve been busy with webdesign activities in my free time. And I enjoy that. I will quit the education I’m doing now, and I hope I will start a new education in September this year.

At the moment I’m still searching for a good school that offers the exact classes I’d like to attend. But the problem is that I do not have the appropriate certificates and degrees to be accepted at most of these schools. Here in the Netherlands there is an option to be accepted if you are 21 years or older. I have to make an admission exam to proof that I’ll be capable to finish the classes with a good result. I already made one of these exams at the Hogeschool Windesheim in Zwolle, which I passed. Theoretically I can sign in for this education and start in September.

But, as I still have lots of time before I have to start, I will attend more of these exams at different schools, so I eventually can choose the school and education that fits best to me, and I can do something I really like.
