[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter got her private pilot’s license.  Darn straight she’s including it in her activities.  She wants to be an engineer, most likely aerospace.  The girl loves flight.  Straights As and in advanced classes and very strong in STEM. And feels most fulfilled in flight. And we’re fortunate to have a lot of money and to have been able to pay for flight lessons.  Now she she’s starting to give back to through volunteering to fly for causes she believes in.  It’s great.  [/quote]

Side track….this sounds so cool. My 9th grader DS  is really interested in learning to fly, but we are relatively poor. Is there any way to get a private license for a young person if you don’t have a lot of money? Any advice is greatly appreciated.[/quote]

My DS dud civil air patrol and got his flight license before applying. He did mention it but he was also applying to Aerospace engineering. He got in to aerospace engineering at Georgia tech, Purdue, UVA etc. it’s very expensive if you do the lessons and flight requirements privately[/quote]
