Do you enjoy travel? Are you looking for a career that will allow you to do so? Perhaps you should think about becoming a pilot. If you do so, you'll have to think about what it takes to become a pilot, things like schooling, the demands of actually being a pilot, and what it takes to make it to the top as well along with the rewards of doing so.
             The first step in becoming a pilot is your schooling. Most aeronautical colleges will advise you to go to a two year school where you earn your two year associates degree in general studies. These colleges require educated people. You can't go from high school straight to piloting school. Once you've completed that you have your choice of aeronautical schools around the world. A couple of the better known schools are Embry Riddle and Spartan Aviation in Phoenix Arizona and Oklahoma City Oklahoma. Once there you will spend the next two years learning how to fly single and double engine Cessna's and earning your piloting license. It's like a much more technical drivers ed class. The work is hard but also rewarding.
             Now you're a pilot but the major airlines won't hire you. This is because you have to earn more flight hours. It's like any normal license, to drive a semi-truck you need more than a Class C drivers license. Most schools hire their students on as instructors after they graduate. In doing so, while helping other students learn, the pilots are earning flight hours to put towards better licenses and better planes. Once you've done your time and earned your commercial license you're ready for the commercial airliner industry. Congratulations, you're flying thirty to fifty passenger planes that have only two to three turbo-prop engines.
             Now you're in the commercial industry and you're working for, lets say Delta or American Airlines, you turn you're focus towards working your way
