Iamdan Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 A topic I just posted in reminded me of this topic. I think we did have one a while back but I couldn't find it so I'm making another. Basically, what are you going to do when you leave school? Things such as further education, careers, hobbies, traveling etc. After I come back from the states at the end of January (can't wait to get back on the slopes) I'm doing an electrical apprenticeship in the army to fall back on, and then going to flying school while doing a physics course at tafe. That way I will be guaranteed at least 50k a year as an electrician from age 20, (more likely 70k+ after I get out of the army at 24 if things keep going the way the are.) and then up to 300k a year as a pilot. (After I've been with the same airline for a long time.) I love snowboarding and skiing, and will definitely go every winter I can. I also want to get good at pool, and have my own bar/table setup in my house. Reading the mystery method has also made me want to socialize as much as I can, which suits the hours that pilots usually have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 My dream job would be a pilot for a domestic airline (Medium haul) in America, unfortunately I don't know the slightest thing about flight education in Finland and even Google won't tell me. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically there are a few licenses for different types of engines, planes, cargo etc, some requiring other licenses and a certain amount of flying hours. Everything up to and including your commercial license costs around 35-40,000AUS. After that, to work for an airline you will need to get your hours up by working as a pilot doing other things such as agricultural work and chartering. If you get into an airline, your duties, hours and wages depend on how long you have been working at that company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klankaos Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm planning on basically... a good chunk of education. My first goal is going to be to pursue refereeing hockey to the highest level I can, because that can get me through university (at least!) and hopefully far beyond that. However, I'll be going to university for architecture, because it's very possible refereeing won't work out, and I'll end up working preferably out of home as an architect. I want to work out of home because I hate cities with a burning passion - I'm a small-town kid, grown up never being in a town larger than 1000 people. Being immature is a part of being mature.

Also, wages are very regulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perakp Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 World domination. Honestly, I have no idea. I don't think it's a good idea to have plans two years further from now, because we simply can not know what the world will be like in 2011. I know I'm going to the army and then I'd like to travel, but don't know where I'd go and what I'd study and where after I'm done traveling. Getting kinda bored to Finland so I'd like to see the rest of europe, but then again I don't support aeroplanes #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Grade 13? Guess it's different in the UK :P When I've finished all free education, I plan on going to med school at either Leeds, York, Edinburgh or Bristol. If I fail all application, then I'm planning on taking a biochemistry course anywhere and transfering to medecine after the first year.

You'll be able to go in as an undergraduate for 4 years instead of 5 so you won't really lose any more time. Just watch out for finances though. You don't normally get government grants for a second degree. Might be an exception with Medicine but research it. :? | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deloriagod Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Heh, I was just thinking of making a topic like this over the past few days. As of right now my fanancial situation is terrible. My car just got repoed and my parents vehicle is going to be repoed in the next few weeks (yay for bankruptcy). So my parents are going to be very little help when college comes besides letting me stay with them while I go to a local college. So right now I'm planning on taking a year off after I graduate this spring, working full time (putting as much money away as I can), then buying my own vehicle, and having a good amount of money left for college.

Range_This11 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm studying at St. Cloud State University to be a High School History/Social Studies teacher. I've been set on it since around 10th grade. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
