Future in Aviation for my Son?
As many of you know, my son is taking flight lessons. He's past solo,
and into his cross-country flights. He's a senior in high school, and is wondering what to do with the rest of his life. His initial aim has been going into engineering, but has decided that math is not something he truly enjoys. (Although he's good at it -- far, far more advanced than I am.) He's now toying with the idea of a career in aviation. Possibilities include: - Commercial pilot - Helicopter pilot - Something on the business side of aviation. I need some first-hand experiences, please. Hours worked, what to expect at the entry level, how much college does your job require, types of skills required, etc. What kinds of careers are out there right now? What sort of college degree should a 17 year old pursue in order to come out the other end with a successful job in aviation? We're filling out applications for colleges, and his choice of colleges will be steered by his decisions. Your input is very much appreciated! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
