^^^ that's my niece! ^^^ or it sure looks like her! Seriously. LOL.


In H.S.? Get flying yesterday. You could enter college as a CFI. Work college around your flying schedule. You could be working as a pilot while in college. IMO pursue flying more than the college degree. Don't misunderstand me, you need a 4 yr degree. I'd recommend a warm place, like PHX(flight training academies), with lots of women(very important for the survival of the species!).

With hard work you could be flying, earning money and gaining time/experience, while in college. Take courses year round. That means you could enter college with community college credits and AP credits. Daughter took 11 AP courses and tested out of 36 credits. Take summer courses. Get a degree that you're interested in and that would be a backup plan or a side job/interest. With advanced credits, JC courses, year round courses, and flying, you could be in the job market at 20/21 yrs old and looking at applying for majors. Guys have gotten hired at major airlines at 21 or 22 yrs old doing the college in 2.5-3 yr program and getting their CFI/MEL before, or in, college.

Dad works for Boeing? See if you can get sim time or work in the sims. You'll push your experience level faster and further.

Good luck.
