starting flight training
Hello, I just joined this website in order to get more information/advice into a career in aviation. I have always wanted to pursue flying as a career. I have never flown in a small airplane before, however, it has always been a dream of mine. I am currently finishing up my sophomore year in college and am 20 years old. I believe that I am going to continue getting a degree in Business because switching over to lets say an aviation degree would set me back too far. ( I have heard getting a backup degree in something other than aviation is a smart choice). I have found an flight school near where I live in Boulder, called McAir Aviation ( which I believe is a part 141 school). Right now, I am thinking about starting training to get my PPL this summer. Therefore, Is there any advice anyone can give me on flight training? Also, any advice on careers in aviation, other than airline pilots? I love the mountains and want to take a mountain flying course. What careers are there that will pay decent? Any advice is helpful and too much information is never enough! Help me out guys! Thanks, Nick
