i too noticed your other thread
you are dropping out of college because it is boring...
well an engineering degree will give you an insight into the avaition world.
When you do your ATPL(air transport pilot licence) exams you WILL be bored by the technical data and when you go on a particular airplane and learn the systems you will be BORED with the technical data systems/electrics/pneumatics/fuel that you will have to learn

I think that you are looking for a "quick fix" since college isn't working out....but there are no " quick fixs" in aviation.
It is a long hard road and if you have no flight time then i suggest you go to the school in Lucan......West Air is in Shannon
and take some lessons....you might find it hard going and decide to quit that too.
There is alot of money involved so i would think long and hard and go chat to some of the instructors in Weston or South Aer

I don't mean to sound harsh but if it is just glamour you are after and the thrill of saying you are a pilot then i would strongly tell you to re-think your position again.
