How to become a pilot in Queensland, Australia?

Question

Hi everyone,

I live in Brisbane, QLD and am studying science in physics and maths (first year) and really want to be a pilot. I was wondering which was the best road to take, I don't particularly want to finish my science degree and would rather pay for flying lessons but am not sure if this will enable me to be a pilot as a job?

Thanks

Andrew

Check out the website for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. It'll tell you the steps to take to get your pilots license - private, commercial and air transport;

It's a shame to start a degree and not finish it but if you're never going to put it to use, it's time and money wasted.
