Listener Mail:
Hello, I have been considering becoming a career pilot for some time, at 41 I am at a point in my life where I think it might be possible, however, I realize I don’t know what I don’t know about the industry. I am looking for advice and guidance, I think I may benefit from your career coaching service, I could make myself available anytime that you were available, perhaps some company offers a “career day” type of experience for prospective pilots. I have an appointment to check out a local flight Academy but I am willing to look at all options, any guidance is much appreciated.

Thank You.

Are there other resources that I could look into for finding scholarships? I am an Asian male in his 30s married with kids. I noticed there aren’t any scholarships geared toward Asians on the current list and was wondering if any would be added in the next update.

Thank you!

Show Notes:

• Don’t try to be like someone online. You are who you are and your situation is unique.
• You are important and your citation is much different than those online.
• Although it is great to get ideas from others you need to chart your path forward.
• Not everyone is the same.
• People will want to tell you what you should do primarily based on their worldview and situation, not yours.
• That is why it is important to get an unbiased opinion from a career coach or counselor who is willing to listen to your unique situation.
• Some examples of things you might not know about the person you are following and trying to emulate.
• Their money situation may be different.
• Education different
• Family obligations.
• That is why you need to take a holistic view of your life and situation to move forward.
• Don’t try to be someone else, be yourself.
