  1. doesn't matter girl or boy .

    this is good to earn money nearly lakh in month but u can not be

    able togive ur time in family


  2. i think that if it is something you really want to do then you shouldnt care about the money but if you want to you should and you could do the airport right near your house so when your done you can go back home also i think it would be fun to see new and different places

  3. You have to have some formal training but I don't know the requirements to be a pilot to be honest.  If you mean a Fighter Pilot then yes you need a degree because you must have a degree to become a military officer and Fighter Pilots must be officers.  A civilian pilot is a different story but still would require a lot of education and training.  You need to learn aerodynamics, weights and balances, I think its called cartography (Mapping), and much more.  You have to be good in math, not necessarily a math wiz but you have to be good with numbers.

    What I suggest is contacting a school that offers flight training, a school like Embry Riddle perhaps.  I know they are an aeronautical training school.  Ask them what is required.  How long does it take?  Do you need a degree?  All the questions you have now and more.  If they aren't the right place then they can probably help you find what you are looking for.  Try the link below for their web site and the "I want to Fly" page that can help you determine the type of training you need.

    Lastly, let me be the first to say that if you listen to the little people who tell you "it's a mans job" then you are potentially your own point of failure.  Aircraft don't require much strength these days and that was a heavy reason it was highly discouraged job in the past.  Flight controls were harder to move and it required more strength.  Now everything is done with electronics, pneudraulics and hydraulics.  Aircraft are pretty much "fly by wire", a term coined to say it's all done by remote wired controls.  I don't feel that being a pilot requires a Man or a Woman.  It requires dedication, strength of character, strong mental poise and lots of other things, none of which fall solely on one gender.

    That being said, if you do choose to pursue the path be ready for the negative that comes with it.  Just because the job may not be a Man only career doesn't mean you won't run in to a lot of people along the way that don't agree.  They might be old school, chauvinistic, just plain ignorant or maybe even jealous of you.  Don't let them stop you if you really want it.  I only warn you of this in case you don't have the type of personality that could push past these roadblocks you might want to reconsider.  

    I suggest you go for it if you really want to fly!  Good luck!
