Answer 1

Another languages would make you more appealing together with geography

Answer 2

get good grades. get a college degree, stay healthy. fly.

pay does not start in the 6 figures. In the US a starting pay for a regional airline is about $20,000. Not a good career to make money in.

Answer 3

You may be getting A's in English, but from your question it looks like you could still use some work.  Most employers will take your written and verbal skills into account when making hiring decisions.  The run-on sentences, missing question marks, improper capitalization, and bad punctuation make you look sloppy; especially if you're capable of achieving A's.

I'm sure I'll get some thumbs-down for this, but if you're looking for career advice - I would hope that you present yourself more professionally to potential employers.

If English is not your first language, then I might have been too harsh.  I'm just going by the fact that you said you were getting excellent grades.

Answer 4

You are just doing fine and would do well in the world of aviation. You have all the chances of becoming a successful commercial pilot and you must pursue your aim. With the proper licencing and ratings, you can fly for any airline, starting at the bottom and moving up with experience. Starting salary will depend but would be in 6 figures US$ with increments as you move up.

Good luck.
