cc2180, I NEVER EVER SAID that you do not need any qualifications, I never said do not go to university, I never said drop out of school. All I did was balance things evenly.
Airflight69 is 26 years old, which means he has finished school and college and even university, unless going for a doctorate.
Education is a wonderful thing, however I a 39 year old male, who used to have a dammed good job as a Designer (and was offered a job 15 years ago with a struggling animation company in Hollywood, who are now huge and I turned them down! 'oh to infinity and beyond'), have never ever been asked about my O Levels or my A levels or my further education in major software design applications.
If you are of school leaving age or just after college then yes go to University and get a degree.
Airflight 69 was asking if the fact that he spoke English as a second language, would this be a problem as he could not prove he spoke it. Well he has to undertake an English test to prove he has Level 4 English or better. He seems to have a good grasp of it.
There are a lot of Wannabes on here and all most of them want is a bit of honest advice. I have tried to give that. I see you are yourself a Wannabe, I wish you all the luck in the world. Right now having a Type Rating and 500 Hours (or more) on Type does not mean you will get a job.
Happy flying
