Should I get a M.S in Airline Management?
Currently, I’m a senior in college, pursuing a B.A. in International Relations. I’m contemplating a career change and am interested in aviation.

What was the toughest part of your training to become a professional pilot, and how did you get through it?
I am a freshman in a college program to become a professional pilot, and my hope is to someday fly for a charter or fractional company like NetJets. Right now I am finishing my PPL, but I really got stuck on learning landings and didn't solo until 40 hours. It was hard to not be discouraged, but I know becoming a pilot takes a LOT of work, time, and effort. I'm willing to give it whatever I need to, but I'd like to know places where people tend to have trouble or get stuck, like I did with my landings. I didn't realize that it does take some people a long time to solo, and that was the main reason I got discouraged, since I thought it meant I was a terrible pilot. Of course, once, landings clicked, I was just fine. Where did you get hung up in earning certificates or additional ratings?

I’m a junior in high school currently studying cybersecurity, but lately I’ve been really drawn to aviation, specifically piloting. I’ve always been curious about how planes work and what it takes to fly one, but recently it’s become more than just a passing interest. I love tech and problem-solving, and I feel like aviation could be this perfect mix of the skills, responsibility, and adventure. I don’t have any flight experience yet, but I’m really serious about learning.
