Hi there
I have wanted to become a pilot since I was 9 years old. I am now in my final year at school, and have to make a decision. Go to university then to flight school, or skip university and go straight into flying.
If I went to university, it would be more for the experience than for the degree. My father is willing to fund both, although he thinks it is not worth going to university if all I want to do is fly.
Can you help me. Is it necessary to go to varsity, or can I give it a skip. After looking through the many degree's, I still haven't found one I would enjoy.
I guess if I went, it would be for the parties, and the student life, not for the work.
Also, how is one's social life as a pilot? are most of your friends pilots from the airlines you have worked at? and do you guys go to pubs etc. together?
Thanks for your help
