Hi, I’m High School in Southeast Virginia. I’ve always been interested in aviation and recently I have been thinking about following that career path. In my free time I do flight simulators and I am using a 737-300 and -800 to get familiar with commercial airplanes. My question is, where do I go from here? Is it required that I go to a big university if I want to become a pilot, or could I stay at a community college?
Thanks for the help

Caden,
Major airlines want a 4yr degree from a legitimate school and that’s all. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with community college, in fact I think it’s a very wise decision.
On a side note flying a 737 sim doesn’t really count as “experience”. If you’re serious about flying you really should take an intro flight or lesson.

Where in Virginia are you from? I grew up in Virginia Beach and went to Old Dominion in Norfolk, Virginia.
