Needs Help Deciding Please

[Sansa]

Hello my name is Conner and I am currently in my last year of highschool trying to decide what the best way of approaching my aviation career is. I am trying to decipher whether or not I should attend university first, get a solid degree which will allow me to get a job and than enter an accelarated professional pilot program that gets me my IFR, MULTI,COMMERCIAL AND CFI in about a year. Or do I attend flying school right after highschool have a large debpt and try to see if I can get a job as a CFI. Really appreciate your help.

Thank you

I can't help you directly but I would consider reading the Canadian forum and see if that helps you.

You could ask the same question there. Good luck.

At your age

Have a back up qualification for any job you dream of doing. Study to be a doctor, teacher, builder or any other trade. Use that salary to fund your flying. When you are left with no flying job......................

Definitely go for education and degree first. College/university...
What you might do, is to get your PPL while doing the above.
This at your "own pace"... first to solo, later the PPL, then log 150-200 hrs.
Then after your degree, do the CPL/IR etc. Could be done very fast then.
Did you considered Air Force... They pay your education and to learn to fly.
I understand Canada has great programs for military pilots.
