This 1974 Counselor Films career counseling film “Is a Career in Civil Aviation for you?” was produced by Michael Levanios Jr and looks at the different jobs available in civil aviation. It looks at the backgrounds needed for different jobs, the working conditions, and what to generally expect in the field. The film covers “direct” roles like pilots, cabin crew, mechanics, flight instructors, ATC personnel, and flight dispatchers. It also looks at the corporate side of aviation, including different jobs in business, accounting, and ticket sales.

Motion picture films don’t last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we’ve worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies — including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you’d like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we’d love to hear from you.
