I want to know if the training you need to become a commercial pilot will be considered as your college study as well. I've really dreamed of becoming a pilot but I also value my college education as well. I'm still in high school but I'll be graduating in 2010 and I want to make up my mind as early as now. I really want to have a college education but if training to become a pilot can serve as one, then I don't mind at all.
I also have a classmate who also wants to become a pilot but he's taking a college course first before training to become a pilot. Is this advisable to do or can I train right away?
Your answers are really important. Thanks in advance.
