Desire to become a Pilot..
Good day to you all,
My name is Yusuf, I am 21 years old. Currently, I am at University studying BSc Computer Science(Just finished my second year).
As a child, I have always taken an interest in airplanes, In-fact even to this day when I hear or see a plane flyby, I cannot help but watch it follow its course..
Now, you might have thought that anyone my age would be happy. But im not. I still am unsure of what career I want to pursue.
Before going into college, I informed my parents of my desire to become an pilot, my parents convinced me it wasn't a good option. So for the past 5 years, I've been floating around unsure of what I want to do with my life.
I have thought of alternative careers, none of which are satisfying. I feel as though I am becoming old, and stressed. Studying a subject which I don't connect with, I need to make myself happy by doing what makes me happy.
The point of this thread, is so that I can receive positive feedback, feedback that will motivate me into entering the career of my dreams(its true, Ive flown planes in my dreams).
I would also like to know what steps I should take so that I can have a safe and secure journey through the training phase of becoming a pilot. My dreams are to fly for Saudi Airlines, or Pakistan International Airlines.
I hope I haven't posted in the wrong category, I was unable to find a forum designated for Introductions. Please excuse my mistake.
