For 16, you would definately need a co-signer or someone else to do the loan and then you pay them back.

If you by rare chance get the loan in your name and something happens down the road, such as you decide you dont want to do it anymore, then you will still have to pay the loan back regardless. Or if your mom's BF foots the bill and then they split up, your SOL.

It may not seem like it now, but college is a very good thing. When I was 16 I didnt want to go to college or even think about school, but now college is very important if you want to make big bucks. My regret is that I dropped out of college twice now

1st time - got married and moved away, BIG MISTAKE
2nd time - wife wouldnt get off her fat lazy arse and get a job, so I dropped out of college, left her, and moved back to where I originally was from.

The older you get, the tougher it is to go to college full time and work full time to keep the bills paid.

Reading all this sure makes me feel like an old man

Ok if i go to collage it opens up the choice to go into the airforce and fly planes. Perferably bombers. I dont like roller coasters so i wouldent fly the fighters. Bombers are nice anyways. What kind of collage would i have to go to. would it have to be a four year collage.

Theres a local collage near me.

NCTC

What excatly would i have to study for.

And is collage really boring. Because i can hardly stand High School. And do you have to have good grades to get in. Ive been barely passing my grades. I failed World History and Math. (yes i know i have to be good at math).

Is collage more affordable than a pilots licence or are they the same.

One pays for the other.

If you go to college your chances of having a nicer income makes it easier to get the pilot licence later.

You would study anything in the aeronautics field.

The Air Force would pay you to teach you to fly but you'd have to be pretty sharp to get into their cockpits.

F*K. AHHHH.

This is making me mad.

Is there any good jobs that i could have after collage that involve flying.

How sharp do i have to be???.

There isnt no flight colleges around there that I know of, im going to get a degree in network admin plus basic electronics, AC/DC electricial, and maybe some digital stuff too. This is just a two year degree at a local community college. I dont have any desire for a 4 year university. College is more fun anyway. Its more relaxed and if you dont want to go, you just skip the class. Math is pretty important thought, being a pilot may require good math skills but I am not sure. Someone who is a pilot would have a better answer on it. I bombed history class, the only parts I was interested in was from 1939 to present. History is not needed for 95% of the jobs, so I wouldnt worry about it.

A local flight school would be best to start out as a small aircraft pilot. Affordability between college and flight school depends on what tuition is there, books, etc. 15 credit hours for is is about $1200, books will be maybe $300. I am getting a grant so everything will be paid for since I am considered very low income on my 2006 1040.

NCTC's tuition is really cheap. It may be easier to go to college and get a nice paying job, then you wont have to worry about finances later on. I am wanting to be a light aircraft pilot, but at this point in time I am going to finish college and get a better paying job. Its less stressful then worrying about paying bills working minimum wage.

Going to college pretty much just makes things easier later on in life.

This is just me though. Im just a lowly meatwad trying to do better in life

EDIT - For flying jobs it may require you be pretty sharp. A little studying, reading, and learning and you will do just fine

Oooops.....I almost forgot.

1) Do as much practice with an equivilent aircraft on Microsoft Flight Simulator as you can.

2) Do you want to work for someone ELSE....or be your own boss with unlimited potential income and residual income every month with vested income until you die?

If you want to be your own boss...contact your local Allstate, or AFLAC insurance agency ASAP.

I am my own boss...my best day in the last 6 months was $1,200 in a single day. I know guys who do $8,000 in a week...I'm not there yet.

This week could be better.......

I work for AFLAC.

Good Luck!

So what classes should i take. I still have 2 more years in school. Could i "sharpen" up my math grades and still make it into the airforce or is it to late.

Thanx agian:aok

If you want jobs in the aviation field as a pilot, you should call up the college and talk to a counselor or someone in admissions. If they dont know then they should be able to give you someone that will know for sure. The airforce will pay for most, but you may have to be really good to be a pilot. Id stay local and start out at the local airfield to get a feel for what its like.

One thing for sure is that you will have to take "general" classes in college. Its a requirement and it kinda sucks. THe college I go to doesnt offer any aviation type classes, I would have to go to a university about 100 miles away.

This is what I have to take

FIRST SEMESTER
CITP 110 Computer Logic 4 credit hrs
BUSN 149 Business Math or higher-level Math 3
CITN 112 A+ Certification 4
CITG 183 Windows XP Professional 3
ENGL 101 English Composition 3

17 total hours

SECOND SEMESTER
CITN 130 Windows 2000 Server 3
CITN 115 Network + 3
CITN 210 Linux 3
CITN 110 Security+ 3
SPCH 103 Fundamentals of Speech 3
Psycology 101 OR Sociology 101 3 (chose psychology, found out im crazy)

18 total hours

THIRD SEMESTER
CITC 110 Cisco Networking Basics 4
CITP 215 System Design I 4
CITC 111 Cisco Routers and Routing Basics 4
CITN 220 Server 2003 Administration 4

16 hrs

FOURTH SEMESTER
CITN 181 Windows.NET Enterprise 4
CITN 215 Exchange Server 3
CITN 225 Windows 2003 Network Infrastructure 3
CITG 250 Computer Information Technology Internship 4
Area D Elective 2 (Took health)
PHLE 119 Core Values and Ethical Decision Making (gonna be retarded, must be a political correctness class)

I have no idea about this but I have a friend who's husband went here .

He then worked as a flight instructor, flew one of the local traffic reporters around, flew the Governor around, and is now working for one of those regional airlines that fly for the majors as a second officer.

You may want to look into it.
