Tell me about it. The theory is gouging out my eyes. But its all worth it for the practical. I just got my ASIC today (Aviation Security Identification Card) looks so awesome. Now I have to go for a class 1 medical which is going to be FUN. My friend got needles stuck into his eyeballs to measure the density of it.... :help:. So far I'm up to advanced stalling, almost up to solo. Btw I fly a Cessna 152 and the best part is the school is paying for like the first 18 lessons.  :tup:

Title: Re: What do you want to become...
Post by: Max_Kreeger on December 30, 2008, 08:01:34 PM
Yeah eventually. Once you get your commercial pilots license I can only fly a Cessna 152, 172 and a Mooney. If I want to fly other planes I have to get endorsements for them and to fly BIG planes I have to have a minimum of 1500 hours of flight. Then you can get your air transport license and apply for a cadet ship, with a airline company. I just need to improve my grades for it all to happen

EDIT:

What do you mean bring indy to the court ? (sorry I really noob at cars)

I wanna be electronics engineer/whatever the word for that is. I'm not bad at school and right now I don't even try hard and I get decent marks. In high school I'll actually try Oh well I have 4 more years of high school plus half a year of gr. 8. By the time I'm done high school I'll probably have a different job in mind.

Yeah, my problem is that my ICT course makes it so that there is NO test, which is alright in one aspect, but it means you have to be alot more focused than I am now. My parents are going to try to get me to go to a grammer school so that I won't get distracted. Anyway, back on topic, I'm going collage, university and start up an IT troubleshooting buisness. Just need to get Microsoft Certified.

Though i aspire to become some sort of hardware engineer, technician or games programmer.

I did my work experience with an Environmental Health department at the local council.

And yeah, a friend of mine went into graphics but because of it's relative ease and so many people are going into it he found it very hard to get work. He's doing okay now though, he tacked himself onto a printers so he gets a lot of work from them now.

I'm currently studying to be a MicroElectronic Engineer, a job that will allow me to eventually own my own business (and not a small business at that).  I'm minoring in Business as well lol. 

Also, to the person saying commercial pilots get paid a lot, thats a joke right?  Pilots are laid off more than almost any other type of job and don't allow you to really settle down with a family.  The best pilots are the private ones that make a great living working 2-3 days a week.


Granted, but it seems that lots of people see money as the primary factor in choosing a career.

Plus, probably quite a lot of the people on here are funded by their parents.

My career choice will allow me to make a lot of money, yes, but it's something I aspired to be for a while now, and I can retire before I hit 50 years old which is always nice.  And I wish I was funded by my parents, but alas they aren't millionaires so I'm funding my college on my own (got an amazing scholarship however)

@Reaper Loads of my friends from Sixth Form are having there uni fees paid for by their parents, one guy who I won't name also got a £22,000 car bought for him as well. But don't worry, he has no friends and hasn't had a girlfriend in his life.

I never got that treatment but I was bright enough to get into a school full of rich kids who obtained all their money ultimately from their parents. THey even got paid money for good grades!!  :fear:

My dad has an alright amount of money, but threy don't want me to end up a spoilt brat. I get £5 a week, £200 for christmas and the same amount for birthday. That is all I get. And some times I get the odd bits and bobs. Money is important to me in a job, but I want to have a job that I enjoy. Hence why I want to own a troubleshooter, and starting it up won't be as difficult because my dad runs a pretty big buisness (got a contract going through that means he will ship ALL 2012 olympics merchandise will be shipped from the docks to the shops by his company). I'm also set up for renting a flat, due to £10,000 (+ intrest) will get when I'm 18.

My sentiments exactly. Do I become a structural engineer and makes lots of money but not really enjoy my job or do and research something I enjoy everyday for less? If I can resolve a few environmental and fishing issues whilst doing it, that would be nice.
Title: Re: What do you want to become...
Post by: StealthedHunter on January 04, 2009, 09:08:07 PM
hmm havent been on here for awhile and this seemed interesting even though I pretty much wanna do the same things half the people on here want to do...

Well I quit school to0 get my ged and will just go to a technical college for 2 years then do my other 2 years at another college which im not 100% sure which either will be yet but will start in august.

I am going to major in Computer science which most of you know is pretty much programming and stuff, which I can do a fair amount of now. I will also do some extra classes in hardware. Once I get out and get a job I will stay there saving money for around 5 years or so getting established and all then open up a store in fixing computers, building customs, maybe modding consoles and such for people too in the store. Then on the side some programming projects and such maybe try to make a couple small indie games on the side.

Also I just wanted to point out everyone keeps saying " once they get there grades in line and such", but really unless you are doing something really hard such as Scientist,Doctor, Lawyer,ect. then you dont have to be an all A student. For computer programming and computer hardware you dont have to have very good grades as long as your passing fairly well. I know more than 5 people ,personally not on the internet, that have quit school and do both those things. My one friend quit school at 16. never got his ged. Taught hiself C++ and makes more then 80,000 us dollars a year at a software development company and has only been working there about 5 years. So that just goes to show you dont have to do amazing at school for alot of things, and most colleges dont require you to have amazing grades either. Just thought I'd put my two sense in that.

Also Money while shouldn't be the most important choice in you career, but should still be in the top 3 because how much money you make will depend on how much stuff you can do, buy, how you can live basicaly. So I would personaly put any job making less than 40,000 a year for me out of the question. Except for the military.

Don't you think there's a too many people studying law and psychology?

In a few years all England will have will be lawyers and psychologists so why not choose something different? And if you go and get a degree in law/psychology but you find out you don't want to be a professional in that line of work, then what other jobs could you get?

I am going get a masters degree in automotive engineering as i can go and do anything with it when i have done it. I can even become an accountant but what i would really like to do is go into F1. Travel the world, work with amazing cars and get lots of money  :w00t:
