My plan
hey guys,
I've been thinking about this for a while and well I thought I'd get some people's opinions on it so here goes!
I'm 17 years old and going to do my A'levels in Maths and Physics this year. I really want to become a commercial airline pilot - it's my dream (like so many others'!)
I definitely want to go to university at some point and I have the following 2 choices:
1. The University of Malta (I live in Malta) offers a BSc. in Mechanical Engineering - so I would complete the 3 year course and then move abroad to do my pilot training. Total time from now = 5.5 years.
2. City University in London offers a BSc. in Air Transport Management along with Pilot Training. Total time from now = 4 years.
Some people might think, oh I'd become a pilot asap but I'm not so sure! I mean for one, it'd be so much cheaper for me to stay at the local university since - it's free and there are no accommodation costs since I live here. If I were to go to the local university I was thinking of becoming a steward with Air Malta (local airline) just for the summer holidays in between my course years - great experience for a summer job.
SO what do you guys think? Please feel free to reply with your own suggestions/opinions.
Thanks!!
Kurt
