I'm 22 years old and flying is all I can see myself doing in the years to come, as a job (commercially).

The question I'm posed with is do I have what it takes? My maths would always be my let down since it's not one of my strongest subjects..

As far as I've gathered from reading this forum, you mainly need A Level qualifications if it comes down to sponsorship, but if your lucky enough to have the money to fund your own ATPL then its not as much as a "must have", is this correct?

I'm aiming to get my PPL done next year, then look towards funding my own ATPL after the 150 hours of flying needed.

What I'm worried about most of all is whether i actually have what it takes?, maths was never one of my strong points but with the years ahead of me I'm hoping to get up to the required standard..

Can anyone give me some feed back by people who have been through this already and any advice?.
