Uni advice
Hi all,
I am 18, almost 19 years old and am studying management at university here in England, however it has always been my ambition to become a pilot, preferably working for an airline. Apart from piloting, no other job seems interesting to me, and my course is getting ridiculously boring, as I have been there for about 5 months and am yet to find a bit of what I am doing that I would want to work in, I feel any job related to management isn't for me, and I find it very tedious, however all of my friends doing the course all love it, which must mean I should enjoy some aspect a little in theory? However it almost scares me that this could be my future. I am at university as my dad was reluctant to help fund my flying due to no guarantee of a job once id gained the sufficient licences and hours, and wants me to get a backup. After looking at many university courses I found none that stood out, so I chose one focusing on management and it, thinking I would like some aspect enough to want a job in the sector, however it has just reaffirmed to me the fact that the job I truly have a passion to attain has no equal, and a job in management or it would not be for me, especially after being in many offices and seeing the day to day life of someone in a similar role, I have absolutely no interest, that and the fact that I will amass a debt in the tens of thousands if I continue. I understand fully that my dad wants me to have a backup plan in place in the event I cannot fly any longer, however a related job, such as a pilot not working for an airline working charter flights, or working as an ATC actually interest me. And if I couldn't find a job inside aviation, something more physical and practical, such as working in public services, such as in the police, as a coast guard, firefighter etc. would make me much happier than a job related to the subjects I am specialising in at university. I have another 3 years at university however completing this degree, to me, seems a waste of time as I would look for a job outside of related fields in order to be happy, as I feel that while money is somewhat important, what is the point in spending the majority of your life doing something you borderline detest? I am just looking for some guidance and I thank you all for reading.
