Am I not a good fit for a pilot career?
Hi,
I'm currently in my last year of high school in Greece, studying in the IBDP program, and I am in the process of applying to some flight schools and cadet programs both in Greece and abroad. I have always wanted to pursue a pilot career – it has been the single unwavering constant since I could remember anything. However, I'm starting to worry somewhat about my ability to make it through. Even though aviation has a special place in my heart, I was never very good at either math or physics and both subjects have always been difficult for me to manage. I would say I'm barely at the average level.
Should I be worried about this? Could my difficulty be a threat toward my career? Growing up, the number one thing I heard was "be good at math and physics", though I have been hearing it less and less from professional all over in the field. I don't know who to listen to or what I should expect. Should I prepare for a backup possibility?
Thanks for your help.
