We were all 17 once and everyone of us loves aviation and will probably be that way whether we make it or not .
Please remember that your CPL once obtained has an expiry date , even worse is that you have to renew your medical every year
What will you do should you become Permanently Unfit before you find a job with that 38 lakh CPL of yours ?
The CPL will become totally useless.....
Also dont forget that most if not all of the airline in India charge another 15-20 lakhs for the type rating
So you are looking at 38 + 15 = 53 lakhs before you can even start earning a basic salary
Some even require you to already have type rating
Moreover airline recruitments in India are not very fair . Very few airlines call all the candidates that apply .
All the more reasons you need to get that college degree first .
Sometimes when you need to find a job other than that of a pilot quite a few places wont hire you if you tell them that you have CPL license because they are afraid that you will leave the moment an airline recruitment takes place
Here are two things I can garuntee...
1. If you go to college and get a degree you will never regret that you did when you look back upon life . A CPL is only a 1 or 2 year max course . There is plenty of time after college to get one
While in college you can get you medical and computer number done .
You can also give the DGCA CPL exams while studying in college itself
Then once you graduate see how market is and then decide whether you wish to proceed or not
2. If you dont get a degree and get a CPL straightaway after high school
Initially you will be very happy since you are doing something very different than what most of your classmates will be doing and naturally you will be flying airplanes
But after you get your CPL and the flying stops.......if you are unable to find a job and no matter how much you love aviation.......YOU WILL start to regret you did not follow your friends
While they are graduating from college and getting placed in various companies and moving on with life .....you will be stuck in some call centre waiting for that elusive airline call that or may not happen
I believe you are intelligent enough to do the right thing....
