It’s unfortunate that technology can render some types of jobs obsolete. By the same token, technology creates new jobs – and along with it, new opportunities. Have you found yourself at the losing end of technology after being downsized? We have a suggestion: how about you jump-start a new career with the best drone certification training from ProTrain.
No doubt drones began as novelty items for tech geeks and flight enthusiasts. But they have become so much more. Drones are proving themselves invaluable to key industries like real estate, entertainment, marketing, and more. And as drones become more popular as business tools, companies need trained and certified pilots capable of handling them.
Employed or as a Contractor
You could embark on a new career as a drone pilot after completing the FAA Commercial Drone Certification (FAA Part 107) course from ProTrain. Certification opens the door to either formal employment or an opportunity to work on your own as a contractor. Regardless, your skills will be instantly in demand in an industry that continues to grow.
Although the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) doesn’t specifically track job growth for drone pilots, a Research and Markets report suggests job growth of more than 51% over the next five years. Along with that, growth will be significant salary growth commensurate with demand.
The highest paying industries for drone pilots are:
- Surveying and Mapping – $80k to $100k annually
- Real Estate – $50k to $70k annually
- Construction – $60k to $80k annually
It is important to know that experience, training, and certification matter. Some drone pilot jobs require more advanced skills. In fact, some jobs specifically require the FAA Part 107 license. That is where ProTrain certification training comes in.
