Questions about Career (Hong Kong)
Let me first introduce myself and what I am doing right now.
I am currently 13 years old, turning 14 this year. I’ve just started Year 9 or 8th Grade, so idk currently living in Hong Kong where I have taken a sort of flight class/training called HKPAPA where I have a week class of learning fundamentals then going on airport tours like visiting the ATC tower in HK which is pretty cool. Next week, I will be flying a light aircraft with an instructor and using a full motion flight simulator that pilots use for training. I am currently in IB so grades are out of 7 or 8 not sure tbh.
So here are my career questions
- As next academic year I will be in high school where I will be able to choose my subjects like Individuals & Societies (Bascally social studies) and science. For science there are physics, chemistry, and biology and I&S there’s geography, history and yeah. What subjects do I choose, I think I am going to choose physics and geography but just wanna make sure.
- For mathematics next year I get to choose between higher level or standard level, my grades are pretty low as I average 4-5s, so does choosing standard level affect my career?
- Since I will soon finish with HKPAPA and the course called “Aerospace Ambassador” which I earn an official certificate, but what happens next? How can I still continue as I saw the next course they have is 16+ which of course I cannot enter. So I want to know of what actions do I take next after the course.
- I researched and saw that there is quite a lot of exams which makes me overwhelmed and lose motivation a bit, as I’m rather not smart I get 4-5s in math and English but get 7-8 in science since it’s easy, but how complicated can these exams be.
- Licenses. PPL and SPL, how do they work, as the classes I took gives me hours into my logbook, if I go into a course for a license, how can I get flight hours and the difficulty of learning even more fundamentals and getting these licenses.
- College or CPL?
- What’s my rough estimate or probability of me actually becoming a commercial pilot if I study hard.
Final remarks or messages
I don’t think I’m the sharpest when it comes to knowledge but I do have a excuse, I never study for anything since I’m too lazy like NEVER in my life, I find it confusing.
That’s what I’m most stressed and worried about, grades, I think I’ll struggle with math, physics, and English.
Thank you if anyone answers these question and any tips!
