From the small video over view that I watched on this occupation, I noticed various advanced technology being used and I want to know if it will be difficult for me to get the hang of it or if there is a safety net to ensure that I don't forget how to do certain things while I am working.

confused about what to pursue in college

hi, I am a student currently studying in class 12th with major subjects as math, physics and chemistry. I'm really confused about the career should pursue further. I'm interested in being a commercial pilot but taking aeronautical engineering as an ug course will leave me with minimal options. Since I'm unsure about pursuing that I can't take the risk. Also, I would like to know which country is the cheapest to get a commercial pilot license and how is the life of a pilot like do they have a personal life? and have they been able to settle down in life?

Going out of flight school with a private helicopter pilot's license, what are some jobs in which I'd be eligible to still make a wage?

#aviation Originally, I had applied to the Coast Guard Academy to become a helicopter pilot and got hours that way, but recently was rejected. My backup plan is to go through a private pilot school and get my license that way. The issue I am running into is how to go about still gaining hours, while making a livable income, with just a private pilot's license. #pilot #college
