Not to be discouraging but I do agree with the previous comment by sufffus. A plan B is always recommended if you want to be a pilot. It is hard as locals to pursue this career due to the cost of obtaining a licence and the lack of work within SG.

Furthermore, even after obtaining a CPL and working for an airline, if a medical issue arises a pilot can be grounded easily, this is besides the ever cyclical economy. Hence having a degree or experience in other areas can assist you in this unfortunate event.

Nevertheless if you have a burning desire to be a pilot do chase your dreams. It may not be an easy path but when you‘re cruising at FL390 I’m sure it will be more then worth it!
