What attracts me is that it seems and Im sure it is quite exciting with a good pay, you get to travel and see new places and experience a variety of different things. However, my mother is against my decision as she says it requires a lot of time away from home.
I just want to know how being a pilot as a woman would affect me in the future %26amp; what are some of the challenges I would face ?
Is the aviation industry experiencing a growth and would there be enough job opportunities ?
Any helpful comments will be appreciated. God Bless.Advise %26amp; insight on being a pilot as a female(career advice)?
Your mother is correct. However, this is something she'd have to get used to anyway, once you're an adult.
Challenges: Flight School tuition, getting (paying for) flight time to qualify as an airline pilot, fitness (flight physicals) and competition from other aspiring pilots.
Potential solutions: Work hard in high school to get great grades. When you're old enough, obtain part-time employment to pay for flight school/renting aircraft/fuel, etc. Go to flight school and work your way up. Or: (U.S. citizen) Work hard in high school to get great grades, join the Air Force Jr. ROTC program. Apply for the AF Academy and graduate. You'll be assigned an aircraft type to pilot. When you've fulfilled your commitment to the AF, you should have little problem obtaining civilian employment in the airline industry. Good luck!Advise %26amp; insight on being a pilot as a female(career advice)?
