My dentist’s son is in middle school and has a passion and aptitude for being a pilot. She says he is discouraged and many consider something else.

The reality is 2029 is his college graduation year. Add some time to get 1500 hours, the Covid-19 recovery will be behind us. Furloughs all will have been called back. Massive pilot retirements will be making being a pilot a high demand career, once again.

Always have a good four year college degree in something he can fall back on, I say. Too many things can happen. Being a pilot is a great career, but always have a contingency. Fecess Happens.
