Would it be wise, and what would be the best route to take if I am interested in pursuing a career in both aviation and medicine (possibly surgery), not to work in the USA alone, but to expand overseas and use as a mission endeavor?
I don't know if it is possible to blend the two, as they are both quite opposite on the career ladder. If it is, what do you see as being the pros and cons of trying to accomplish both, or just one or the other? Do you think it would be feasible to meld the two? I don't want to be another mediocre leaf on the tree. I want to make a difference in the world. Experience relating to each field and what challenges y'all face in day-to-day life would also be appreciated.

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?
Is it possible to shadow a flight attendant as a high school student?
I'm currently a sophomore in high school. At my school, sophomores are encouraged to complete a job shadow for the career/job they're most interested in.

If not, are there any alternatives, like an internship or attending a training session?

What electives should I take if I want to be a commercial pilot for a big company like Delta, AA, etc. somewhere in the future?
I am in 8th grade and I want to be a commercial pilot. My choice for electives are coming up and I want some advice from someone on which electives I should take. At the moment, I am in the level 1 (advanced) classes for both English and Algebra 1. I will be taking Geometry Honors next year as well as English. I am wondering if I should. Bother going honors in biology and world history to make time for more math and computers (CP1). Is keeping a good GPA important in this field? Bridgewater State seems like a good college to go to near me (any recommendations for that?) so that I can get my pilots license. Also, are there any other classes I should take, whether extracurricular or not. Would being a pilot (not a fighter/bomber) in the Air Force be worth the time to get a good job? Thanks! If you have any questions please ask me! P.S. I looked on faa.gov and medically, it seems I qualify for the job. #air-force #anyone #commercial-pilot #airplane #commercial-aviation #aircraft-maintenance #airline-pilot #airplane-pilot
