Kip Blakely has been the vice president of industry and government relations at TIMCO, a company that provides fully integrated aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul. He has also recently been named president of Guilford Technical Community College Foundation, Inc. In a TedTalk he gave at Greensboro he talks about the continual growth of the world of aviation and the various job opportunities it provides. During his speech, he gives a scenario where three kids are at a playground and they see a plane fly above them. The first kid says, "I want to design a plane". The second kid says, "I want to build that plane". And the third kid says, "I want to fly that plane" (Blakely). This shows that there is such a wide diversity within the world of aviation that almost anyone can become involved in it.
