Hello, well I am about 3/8 done my Junior yr. of highschol and am def. thinking of becoming a commercial pilot and going on in the career of aviation.  Does anyone know of a college (Pref. in the U.S.,cityish not North Dakota, or some place in the middle of no where) that offers a program that will take me completely through all my training to become a Commercial pilot..I have seen a few in NYC, one in Arizona, and one in Fort Lauderdale. Also what would you suggest taking up as a minor? (that relies on aviation).

Thanks

JR, simply put, get something that isnt to do with aviation as a minor. Chances are, going that way your chance of getting a job are slim, but who knows how things will be. But with something in a field other than aviation your options will be opened up if there is nothing avaliable, stacking shelves at walmart might be one of the few options avaliable. Sadly seen it happen to often.

Yeah I agree. Two of my uncles both wanted to be airline pilots but it just got to expensive. Luckily they had minors in other things besides aviation. They are now both very succesful. One has his own buisness putting in fire places and stuff like that and the other maneges a (very large) grocery store. I hope to be an airline pilot but I also want to have something else to fall back on. I am currently 14.

Good luck jrpilot!!

Aye, you guys are killing us hopefuls! (jk)
