Title: Computer Engineering or Airline Pilot? Post by: BTC-TMXSTAR on January 26, 2015, 10:33:50 AM Hi there!
Im a 15 year old boy and going 16 this February 24 2015 First of all, i'ved using computer since i was 7-8yrs old since my mom give me a computer and now its still running because i always fixed and upgrade the hardwares. Been playing games,modding windows,editing the UIs,animating,video editing and more but since i saw a pilot for the very first time, He was so cool (no homo), i mean from his clothes,sun glasses,cap and the bag his carrying.. he is totally a cool guy. i think its awesome to fly and land a plane. I know its a serious job. Many of my friend says Computer Engineer sucks, so i need your time if you want you to help me :( Which is better for your opinion and why? Sorry, my English is very bad that i cant explain it to you very well. Thanks advance and God Bless!!!!! Title: Re: Computer Engineering or Airline Pilot? Post by: Puppet on January 26, 2015, 10:45:46 AM You would want to become a pilot because the uniform looks cool? LOL.
Busdrivers often wear a very similar uniform (and truthfully, the job isnt all that different either). I happen to be passionate about flying, but it doesnt sound like you are. So do whatever it is you are passionate about. Title: Re: Computer Engineering or Airline Pilot?

Title: Re: Computer Engineering or Airline Pilot? Post by: freedomno1 on January 26, 2015, 10:55:07 AM Do both it takes time to pass the pilots exam to be a civilian pilot you need a lot of airtime, and then promotion is seniority based.
To obtain a commercial pilot's license, 250 hours of flight time are required, and 1,500 hours of flight time are required for an airline transport pilot certificate. Flight training can be completed through degree programs or through a flying school that is approved by the FAA. Airline pilots must also have 40 hours of instrument flying experience in-air and through simulation. http://education-portal.com/be_an_airline_pilot.html Can still work on computer engineering in the meantime and it's always nice to have multiple goals and learn things in a variety of fields, I would label learning how to fly and land a plane safely as one of those useful abilities to have in the back of your pocket Best of luck regardless Title: Re: Computer Engineering or Airline Pilot?

Title: Re: Computer Engineering or Airline Pilot? Post by: Rude Boy on January 26, 2015, 11:02:48 AM I think software field is more and more valuable than pilot. Because, if there is no software engineer, we cannot be improved flights from wright brothers first flight to now a day's modern flight. ;D pilot is just a driver. Don't bother about their dress, you can also dress more sensibly than a pilot. There is no guarantee for your life, if you are a pilot. But in software field, we cannot say like that.
