Jobs in Aviation Series: AOPA President Mark Baker

There's never been a better time for career switchers to land a job in aviation than right now. Nobody knows that better perhaps than Mark Baker, the president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. That's because Baker is a career switcher himself, having left the retail world to pursue his passion as the head of the world's largest general aviation association.

As part of our ongoing Jobs in Aviation video series, Baker spoke with McDermott & Bull co-founder and CEO Rod McDermott at Oshkosh about the opportunities in general aviation for talented people who are considering turning their passion for flying into a rewarding full-time job.
