What education do I need to become a commercial airline pilot?
This is something I am REALLY passionate about.
I am in 11th grade and need to start thinking and making choices about what to do for college.
I do not know what education is needed.
Thank you so much for answering!
1. Stay in school and get your 4-year degree. Most airlines require one. They don’t generally care what the degree is in, they just want one.
2. Stay away from drugs. Stay away from people who do drugs. This includes grass.
3. If you drink, NEVER drink and drive—a DUI is a career killer
4. Avoid getting tickets. Many airlines require that you submit your national driving record with your application. Too many tickets=no interview.
You are speaking of entering a career that is incredibly unforgiving of any offenses involving the police: DUI, drugs, assault, etc. The company will, some day, launch you in a 150 million dollar jet, and have to just trust your judgment. Your record needs to be spotless.
You must be in reasonable health to fly. Before you start making career decisions, make certain that you currently meet the medical requirements by finding an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) on faa.gov, and taking a Class I Physical. This is even more true for the military.
Flight Training:
You can go to an aviation college, and get the training along with the degree. I am a little concerned with what an aviation degree does for a person who suddenly because of health or other issues, can’t fly. San Jacinto has a 2-year program that gets an Associate Degree, and all the ratings. I am certain that there are others. After that, you can move to another college and finish out a 4-year degree in some fall-back area. Total cost will probably be somewhere in the 70K range, and student loans are available.
Get your 4-year degree, and then attend an accelerated program such as ATP, where you will spend 50-70K, loans are available, and get all the ratings in about 3-9 months.
Go to your local flight school, and take the training there. This will sometimes be a little hodge podge, and the schools can be all over the map in terms of quality of training and equipment. I live in a major metro area, and I know of only three local flight schools where I would have or have sent my children, or that I am willing to recommend. These schools, no matter what they say, just aren’t geared to getting you through quickly. Plan on at least 2 years from start to finish. This might be cheaper than any of the other options, until you consider the opportunity cost.
After you get your 4-year degree, go to the military. The upside is that you get to fly some really neat equipment and serve your country, assuming that you are a US citizen. The downside is that, if you are not s..t-hot, you may find yourself flying some really mundane equipment, and you are still committed to a long time in the service. I think the current commitment is 10 years, Did I mention that you might get shot at! When you separate from the military, if you can find a slot in the Reserves or Guard, it can be a real godsend if you are furloughed. You just go back the the military until the furlough is canceled. It can also help bolster your pay during those lean first few years. On the other hand, many military pilots separate with less than 1000 hours, so they, after 10 years in the military, still have to go to the Regionals to build time. So the upgrade to the Major can easily be 15 years after college graduation, or 37+ years old.
My suggestion is that you go to the local airport, find a school that has reasonably new and clean aircraft, and take a few lessons. Maybe even go through the complete Private course. If you really struggle with this program, then maybe professional aviation isn’t for you. Everyone hits bumps in the road, but if you are one of those people who can’t solo after 30-40 hours, then you either need a new instructor, or you may not be cut out for this job. If you already possess the 4-year degree, then IMHO ATP is the best/only way to go because it will get you done in a very short period of time. Remember the clock on the end of your career is already ticking. If you don’t have a 4-year degree, then you have some time to explore the other options.
I have seen a lot of guys go through ATP, and be hired by a Regional less than one year after solo. That is NOT happening in the current economic climate, but will probably happen again in the future. When is anybodies guess.
Good Luck

What education do I need to become an Apartment Manager?
My Father is looking into buying about 15-20 apartments. He would like for me to get an education in order to become a large part of running the complex. It’s an investing opportunity, and my father honestly doesn’t know anything about it himself, so he’s basically counting on me to do it all. I am very interested though.
In the case of the apartment building I used to live in, a third grade education was sufficient for the manager.
What is your philosophy of higher education?
I am trying to write a paper for one of my classes, and am having a hard time finding information on the topic. Our prof wants us to get others philosophies of higher education and evaluate them and come up with our own. However, when I search "philosophy of higher education" all I get is info on PhD programs! So, if you are a higher ed administrator or an educator, what is your philosophy of higher education, or what is your college’s philosophy?
Also if you have any tips on where to find this information, or better ways to search, please let me know!
Thanks for your help!
One reason why you may not be finding anything specifically on this topic is because it is subjective and interpretive.
My opinion is that higher education is fine if it has a practical application. For instance, practicing law or becoming a doctor but there are many other professions where this could hamper the individual. From a professional aspect, the worst Engineers I have ever had on my staff or worked with me are PhD’s. Their minds are developed in such an analytical manner that they become dysfunctional. Also, this is compounded by people who achieve degrees all in the same field i.e. engineering. I think it is great from a science perspective but from management or operatability it is useless.
I would rather see an Engineer with an undergrad and MS or a MBA rather than a PhD anytime. To this day, I wont higher PhD because I have no use for them.

What education is needed to be a radiology nurse?
What does the job entail, salary, description?
I am trying to find a nurse specialty and someone meantioned it but I’m not positive what exactly the job calls for especially education wise.
The other answerers are incorrect. It’s a specialty of nursing. You don’t go through radiology school.
"The larger medical centers may employ a radiological nurse who provides for the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the patient who is undergoing tests or treatment in a radiology department. The radiological nurse usually develops and manages a care plan to help patients understand procedures and, later, recuperate from the procedures. This may also include working with a patient’s family.
The nurse can perform examinations or carry out preventive health measures within the prescribed guidelines and instructions of the radiologist. In addition, the nurse can record physician findings and discuss cases with either the radiologist or other health care professionals. Often, a radiological nurse will assist during examinations or therapy. Radiological nurses must have graduated from an accredited nursing school. Each nurse must also pass a national licensing examination."
