I am 15 years old and eventually want to be an airline pilot, im the talk of the family  ;)  but what do you want to do? or what are you studying to do?

I can't choose more than one!  Oh well, I'll probably get a job that's solely engineering first, so that's what I chose.

I'm planning on doing an engineering degree, hopefully at Cambridge....

that would suggest engineer, but I would love to be a pilot or ATC.....but unfortunately I don't think I could scrape 60000 quid together for a CPL

.mic

Not sure yet... I want to go into media. My great uncle, Tim Hampton, was Associate Producer of The Life of Brian.  8-)

I also hope to get a PPL and a little plane at some point.  ;)

I am into my 21st year of spannering on the dam things..........too late to change now

I Really want to be a pilot of some form, ill probably get some help on the way from my dad scene as he has his own aeroplane(s) and will hopefully offer some reasonable rates

Pilot... Hopefully RAF if they let me... its been a life long dream to join the RAF like my Grandfather and its been a life long dream to fly... so combining the two would be the best thing I could do... If not, watch out easyJet... Just need the

Pilot if they will have me...

Any job where they give me a pair of wings, but ideally RAF then go commercial when im a bit older...! Can't imagine things working out that well though, ask me in 6 months  ;D

I'm going to SUNY Farmingdale for the Airways Management program in the fall. I graduate with a twin-engine IFR rating plus a CFII rating. From there, it's on to the military to get flight time. After that, I'm applying to a few regional carriers and work my way up.

I'm satisfied with my PPL for now. Maybe in the future i'll go ahead and get my IFR & Instrument certifications and fly smaller prop aircraft, but I certainly don't have the urge to fly the big busses for a living.

As for school, i'm going to be looking into being an Avionics Engineer tech...

Well, I would love to have a PPL someday (where IS that option on your poll, hm?  ;) ).  Topping 35-years-old, I think it is a little late to start towards a career in aviation.  I guess that is another one of those things that I can have a what-if dream about when I hit the sack at night.

Right now?  Well, seeing as my teaching contract is up in another 6 months, I am just looking for career-quality work to pay the bills, put food on the table, and help keep a roof over my family.  Still . . .

My sweety is very supportive of my aviation interests.  As long as all other priorities are being met, she is totally behind me attending a flight school and getting my PPL.  Our hope is that I can get both a PPL and small aircraft by or before retirement so that we can enjoy that in our later years.

Ah, dreams . . .

EDIT:

Thanks for adding the PPL option!  :)

I'm wanting to go into the RAF but I can't be a pilot though so I'm looking at other career paths in the RAF.
