RL: Do well this semester and get an internship or job related to my major.

FS: Switch to maining big and dominate central server.

FYI, if you're going to be an Aerospace Engineer it will require a vigorous amount of studying and time. If you want to train to be a pilot, it will take just as much time in ground school / studying in addition to your flight training. The expenses for pilot training from Private to CFI can be up to 70k (assuming you're going for a fixed-wing license). Expenses for college is no joke either. Realistically, there is no "side job" as a pilot. You either dedicate your career to aviation or you dedicate it to Aerospace Engineering. The expenses for pilot training ALONE are immense enough. Just giving you a reality check. It's good to have these aspirations, but due to the amount of money and the amount of dedication needed for both career paths, you need to pick one. I'm a helicopter pilot, and I'm telling you now, if you want to be a successful commercial pilot, that's going to have to be your main focus. You can't just be an aerospace engineer and have a side job as an airline pilot. Only "side" pilot job I can think of is a part time CFI I guess.

PS.

If you're serious about becoming a pilot, pursue the Rotorcraft route. Helis are way more fun to fly than fixed winged.

I thank you for is information bro. I honestly will cry if I don't get in. Gpa is 3.75+ so I'm praying and hoping.

Good luck man if you have any questions I can help you out. If you're not accepted into engineering they may offer you admission with the alternate major of Aeronautical Engineering Technology, from what I understand the coursework is somewhat similar but I believe the technology degree doesn't require as much math, and the coursework has more of a hands on approach. I think the highest math you have to do is Calc 2.

If you're accept into the college of engineering you won't be majoring in aerospace engineering when you get to campus. You start off in the "First Year Engineering" (FYE) where you and all of the other engineering majors take classes and at the end of your freshman year you can declare a major within the college of engineering but each specific engineering major(electrical, mechanical, etc.) have different GPA requirements.

If you're not accepted and offered the alternate major, don't be discouraged because if you want you can talk to your advisor about switching major. But I've had friends who graduated with the technology degree and they often get the same jobs and payrate as those with the engineering degree. Note that the first year of FYE is extremely difficult. I know a lot of people don't know about the technology degree and what it offers because I didn't when I came to Purdue. Good luck bro if u have any questions let me know.

Thanks man. I truly appreciate it but my parents argue with me that engineering is better because pilots rarely make 6 figure salaries and whatnot so there is still confusion

[TripleThreat]

RL: Finish out school and get into the college I want to get into

FS: Tourney

[TobinPowellHeath]

Move to central

Just hack and there'll be no problem

[Astro]

I hope you guys get both things accomplished. Let's make this year a great one. Thanks for a community like this and the more blessings that shall come.

[FundamentalsFS]

RL : fuck some bitches

FS: win a tourney

[AnimalPlanet]

RL: Continue self-improvment

FS: Find some dedicated team mates.

[soldier king]

Goal: build factory, sell a lot of t shirts, save the world
fs2: just a past time that is virtual reality and fades when you cut off your computer, so don't use it to run away from your problems, instead use it to simulate how you want to act in life: never giving up, being humble and taking losses and learning, and giving your all.

Why not let it fly!

2017 best year!

Ps cool thread!!

[NickNick]

irl : turning 21 so i hope i can transform into my final form as a super savage

fs2: run you niggas off the court

[NickNick]

and sup leo lol

[Ahms]

RL: Open up my first Auto Tuner/Restoration Shop for High Performance Euro Cars (May-June) Opening Prediction.

FS: Create a (MLG Point Style Ranking system among tournament competitors to track players individual competitive skill, and make FS2 Tournaments more interesting, better broadcasting/ commentation) Hopefully become an official mature commentator as i sit back for a bit from competing.

[Couse]

Good luck. Couse has 8 kids so he may have some tips.

Leave my kids alone. This beef is between us nigga.

[Gates]

RL: make a big project (CS major, hello friends, goodbye sleep)
FS: THEY WANT THE GREAT WALL, IT'S COMING Q1 2017 and bring stylez to omega

[ShotFake]

FS: Ring

RL: Publish my first research article, present my work at a couple conferences, find a professor and PhD program to work with.
