Before I ever step into a cockpit, what is the first thing I need to know to TRULY start my journey into piloting? #Spring25
I’m a junior in high school currently studying cybersecurity, but lately I’ve been really drawn to aviation, specifically piloting. I’ve always been curious about how planes work and what it takes to fly one, but recently it’s become more than just a passing interest. I love tech and problem-solving, and I feel like aviation could be this perfect mix of the skills, responsibility, and adventure. I don’t have any flight experience yet, but I’m really serious about learning.

As a beginner, how do I get hands-on experience in systems analysis or cybersecurity, especially if I don’t have a lot of real-world experience yet?
To me, this is a critical aspect of building a strong foundation for my career, as both fields rely heavily on practical experience to fully understand theoretical concepts. But I am just confused on where to start.

What are some prerequisites that should be handled before entering the cybersecutiry/ethical-hacking field? And if there are any, how would I go about getting these things done?
I have been interested in entering the cyber-security field since I was young, and now I can start. Where should I begin? What do I need to know before getting started? Any advice at all would be great. Thanks.

How should I prepare myself for a first job? How do I organize my resume, if I'm a minor, preparing to apply for my first job?
As of a month ago, I officially turned 16, which has given me a broader base of jobs to go after and apply for. I'd like to start applying for jobs, and hopefully, work a steady job before I turn 17, so I can develop my resume history and work-place skills. But all the jobs near me require experience, references, and certain skills that only trained professionals and/or graduate students have. What should I do, in order to prepare myself for my first job? How do I organize my resume, being where I am now - an inexperienced minor? #job-search #resume-writing #recruitment #teenagers #beginner #job-application #personal-development
