Hi everyone,
My name’s Robert and I’m a senior in high school. I’ve wanted to be a commercial pilot for many many years now and now that I’ll be graduating soon I need to start making some firm decisions. I’ve ruled out the idea of taking the military route, simply because I don’t want to have anything to do with the military. So naturally, I have lots of questions about my “civilian” career path.
I was hoping I could get some opinions about the school I’m planning on going to after high school. Here’s a link to the site---> http://www.lanecc.edu/flight/flight.htm
And here’s a link to the college catalog for this program--> http://lanecc.edu/instadv/catalog/flight/programs/flight.htm
It’s a two-year program offered at the community college here in Eugene, Oregon. What job opportunities would there be after completing a program such as this, if any? Do you think a person who’s completed this program would stand any chance at getting a flight job with an airline? In the education page about degrees on this page, Doug said that it’s very important to get a degree. Should I get a degree in something first and then enter this program? Unfortunately, don’t think that’s an option for me. What should I do?
Basically, my main question is would it be unwise for me to go into this program right out of high school and expect to get a job flying afterwards?
Thanks for any help I can get!
-Robert
