A great way to find out more about this field is by working for a parking company. A part-time or summer job as a cashier or other type of entry-level worker at a parking lot for a retail space, hospital, or sports arena will give you the chance to work closely with parking attendants and see what their tasks entail. You can also interview a parking attendant to find out how they got in their career and what they like most and least about the work. Prepare a list of questions before you meet up for the discussion. Keep up with news and developments in the professional parking field by reading publications and blogs.
