Screening jobs have high turnover rates and, as a result, offer many chances for advancement. After a couple of years of experience in baggage and passenger screening, you can work in higher positions in management or busier traffic responsibility. Security managers may be responsible for hundreds of workers and oversee the hiring and training of new workers.
Positions as air marshals already offer a high level of responsibility, but qualified and talented individuals can advance into manager and director roles, where they are responsible for hundreds and even thousands of workers.
