You have a few choices. Pararescue, Combat Control, and Special Operations Weather Technicians are all airborne qualified. Some Aircrew Life Support Technicians also receive the three week school so they can better instruct their students in proper parachute techniques.

Combat jobs in the AF that are jump qualified are Para-Rescue, Combat Control, and a few Special Ops Liaisons that are assigned to other branches of military.
Also some Aircrew Life Support, that are parachute riggers are jump qualified. If you pack it you better be willing to jump with it.

Para air rescue, some forward air controllers, there are several jobs within the Air Force that have them, they are highly specialized fields.
PS, and Pilots don't get jump school, there are a great many pilots that have flown all their lives in the Air Force and have no idea what its like to swing from a chute. And most will tell you they like it that way.

When you get shot down and you eject, that's the only time you parachute. You might have 1 or 2 pratcice jumps to teach you how to land. If you wanna jump, join the paratroopers in the 101st airbone division.

Every job that doesnt include fighting, that means every job in the Air Force
