Well at least in the end you still fly. I think that someone like me, fresh out of high school with no real commitments or distractions would have slightly a better chance...maybe that's just me. I feel like I am willing to commit everything I got (which isn't much) to successfully achieving...

If I were to have a degree beyond flying, what should I consider? I still want to be in the aviation/avionics category. Anything that involves airplanes or airports is what interests me :confused:

Thanks for the encouraging words. I am willing to put any distractions aside and focus on my main goal. I'm just wondering if it will all pay off in the end. I want to stay positive but this seems like a tough industry to 'make it' in life...

Would joining the ANG be a good idea? I hear they provide education & a part-time job as well. Could I get what is required of me in the military? Pursuing this seems harder than I thought...

So while working my way up to the job I want as a pilot, what are some of the jobs I should look at while I'm in my 20s? You say I won't start earning a living until my 30's so what should I do until I get to that age?

Well I just thought I could get my training, hours and education in the ANG. I've flown many times as a passenger but never been in the controls. This career field seems harder than I thought to be successful in. Am I up against too much competition?

I appreciate the advice but when you say "might" it sounds like there is not much opportunity in becoming a pilot. Is that true? If I really put my mind and heart to it, I know I will try my 100% best. But is the effort going to pay off in the end?

Thanks for the advice but is there really a slim chance of actually becoming an airline pilot? I want to stay positive but I want to be real too.

Why can't "a good day job" be a pilot? Is there too much competition for that?

Well what I had in mind was to join like the Air Guard, get my training and hours there and then go to flight school. I've always been interested in flight and I really do want to be an airline pilot. I know I have to work my way up but from what I am hearing, it seems like there's a slim...

Yeah I'm kinda new to all of this. Just thought I should start getting serious about finding a career in life. Motivation is what I need. Thanks.

Greg, why do you label it as a drug? I don't really understand the comparison. Is it a wrong decision?

I guess what I meant to say was a career in being a pilot. I guess not avionics. Excuse my ignorance I just want to know what I'm in for if I follow that career path.

Hello everyone. I am currently still in high school planning to graduate in a year. I want to pursue a career in avionics/aviation (pilot) and I want to know some basic information on the career, what is expected from me, requirements, where to study etc. I want to get a better knowledge...
