So I would want to pusit pilot as a career, I heard some pilot suggest don’t go to a degree that related to aviation field, but I can’t think something else intrested me, so I am thinking about aviation science as major.
I also think that going to a community college and then transfer would be more suitable for my case.
There is many CC around Southern California that have aviation science I don’t know which one is better, or are they all same?
Also, Is aviation science degree transferable from CC to 4 year college?
I am a private pilot and will tell you - learning to fly has become absurdly expensive. Renting a 40 year old Cessna in the San Jose area is $120 and hour, instructors are $50… You need about 70 hours to get your private and about 500 to get your commercial and instrument ratings - which are required to get paid to fly. Those jobs simply don’t pay enough to make the investment worth while. But for a handful of roles, you are a bus-driver in the sky.
If you want to fly, be an engineer, perhaps even for an aviation company like Textron. Earn a solid paycheck and fly recreationally
If you are an international candidate, you may have trouble just getting past the English skills needed in any university courses.
Where do you plan to work?
Most pilots received their training in the US military. As veterans, they have priority for jobs.
