Just go to America an get a FAA PPL and IR and about 200 flying hours.
Make sure you get 100 solo, 50 solo cross country and at least 5 solo at night with 5 solo night landings to a full stop and your long cross country completed.
Make your long cross country suitable for both the American way (3 legs 200 nm each leg) and the European way of (300 nm each way).
By doing three legs of 300 nm. Your covered if you want to get a FAA CPL/IR/ME and do a conversion to EASA.
Whilst the 22/23 year old's didn't know what they wanted to do with their life.
This shows, not only you knew what you want to do.
But it shows that you can do it too.
That will make everyone else in the room look very small in comparison.
Then if they are not interested in you, your just 14 written exams and a short stint at a flight school away from being there.
There are two types of people in this world.
Those that talk about doing it, and those who do it.
Make sure you are a doer and not just a talker.
You are 17 years old.
Knowing what you want to do is half the problem in life.
Now you're there, follow thru by putting a plan into action.
