Jason, you can take whatever high school classes you want. Just remember, it's not too late to become a dentist.

Jason...watch this thread. Watch it close.

You can be a pilot. Just avoid making it into a job...

Howdy Jason,

Do you live near a small airfield, one with a flight school?
Try a google search using your town/cities name followed by "flight school" as the search terms. Hopefully you could find one nearby that a parent or guardian could drive you out to?
If there is a flight school nearby, perhaps you could call them up, and see if someone on staff would like to meet with you in person to discuss your questions? Ask if there are any flight instructors there who would like to take some time and tell you about this career field.
That might be a good way for you to see a bit of the industry up close, and see if it's something you are truly interested in.


Good luck with your school project.

YES!!!!

If I only heard: "do it as a hobby ONLY". or "never take a job that is a hobby to others"

If only.
