I'm descent in math (get B's) and really good in science. I was wondering how challenging flying is in general. How hard is ground school? How hard are the concepts of flying to master? Could an aviation degree be compared to an engineering degree in difficulty? Thanks!
P.S. I'm going to be a senior in H.S. and plan on going to Kent State for aviation!
It's easier than spelling...I'm just kidding. You can't do it for fortune and glory, you have to love it. I thought I just had to have an engineering degree to fly, but I ended up with a pre-law degree and I do just fine. I'd say just get the best grades you can and fly as much as possible. Nothing helps you "get" the concepts of flying like experience, and a steep learning curve is your greatest asset. Good luck.
