Hey everyone, this is my first post.
I'm a 16 year old student who's currently taking college classes in lieu of high school.
I've been around shooting pretty much all of my life. Last year, I got a job working at a Boy Scout summer camp (Camp Shands). I was able to work with a world class staff on the rifle range. My official position was the Rifle Range Assistant, but on the actual range I was treated as an instructor. It really whetted my appetite for shooting sports. In the fall, I went to a NRA instructor school put on by the summer camp shooting sports staff and some others (Richard Gentry, Caroline/Gerald Shelton, etc.). I got my Apprentice Instructor ranking with the NRA in Rifle, Shotgun, Muzzle loading Shotgun and Muzzle loading Rifle. I plan on working at the camp this summer, and probably the summer after that.
My main question for everyone here is this: what kinds of jobs are there in the Firearms industry? and also, what should I study to get one? Right now I'm working on my AA, but I haven't decided my major.
Any and all thanks are appreciated.
