Hello everyone,
I am currently studying A-Levels in the UK for one year before finishing my high school education in Italy. Where to go after graduation is becoming an ever more important question in my head. I'm also a glider pilot, and my career goal is to fly professionally - be it airlines, corporate, charter or whatever.
I am both a US and German (thus EU) citizen, and have grown up on both sides of the Atlantic. I'm therefore fluent in English, German and Italian.
The only problem is: where should I go after high school? Where are my chances of a successful career greater? What I would like to have is a comparison between US and EU aviation markets, and where it would be wise to go.
A comparison of quality of life factors would also be useful, such as where the wages are better on average (ie. I've heard that wages in the US are worse than in Europe - is that true?) and how companies treat their employees (on average - I know that every company is different).
I would really appreciate it if someone who has US and EU experience could answer some of my questions.
Thanks in advance,
Marco
