Pilots Wanted! - Career Research Paper

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on AVSIM, but I've been reading around on the forums a lot anonymously :D

My name is Howard Yang, and I'm currently a Sophmore in high school. As an assignment for English class, I am to choose a career I would want, and write a twelve page paper on it . I have chosen a pilot as my career path, and as hoping if any commercial pilots on these forums (I've already seen at leas a dozen) could help me with the interview section. This would only take thirty minutes of your time at most, and can be done on this forum, through, email or any other method you prefer. Alternatively, if anyone had considered this career path as well but chose not to become a pilot for some reason, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts, because I've read enough online to know that this career path is not without its caveats.

Ever since I was young, I have always dreamed of being a pilot. I remember this first started when I was waiting for my sister's flight to land from London (she had been doing a study-abroad program) at KSFO. As I watched the huge triple sevens and 747s coast by on final, I realized that I could only barely see the tiny cockpit windows that controlled these monolithic aircraft through the skies and hundred of miles an hour. It was from then and there I realized I wanted to be a pilot. That night, I begged by parents to get me a copy of Microsoft's FSX, and have been flying the virtual skies every since.

Thanks :)
