What is the best possible path to become a professional pilot?
I want to know if taking a college aviation course is much better than attending a flight school. And if not, if it would bebetter to attend college doing another course and learning to fly in flight schools. #college #aviation #commercial-pilot

It is always better to get a college degree. I am not sure what it is like where you live, but here in the states there is financial help, of course it will take you 10 years to pay it off. In college you can can get your ratings needed to get into the job market as an instructor atleast. Airlines around the world are hiring and offer great incentives. Look into different airlines and see what they will do for you. Check with your college and see what all you will get with the course and see if the cost is within your budget. To pay for just the ratings yourself, and be an instructor is expensive and takes time to get the hours required. Check pilot job boards to see requirements.

Taking a College Aviation course is the best way to get qualification prior to your flight school.
Otherwise, you can engage in the Air Force to be a fighter pilot. Good luck Andre.
