Can I become an astronaut by studying mechanical engineering?
I read the other response from a Mechanical Engineer and I disagree. I think your ME training is good training for being an astronaut, but not all the training you need. Here is a link to the NASA site. You will see they are trying to recruit people with engineering degreees. Good luck! Do not give up your dream. Assimilator
I'm pursuing my final year in engineering. Am I eligible to write RRB exams?
You are pursuing final year engineering and you are conscious about jobs, it a very nice thing. But if we go through the eligibility criteria you have to wait for this year to secure a place in Indian railways. One the other hand you have a opportunity to try your luck. Documents are the second thing that will be needed if you score the qualified marks. So, you can appear in the exam. It will be beneficial for you. You will get the experience which will help you to prepare even better after the completion of your B-tech. I have to say you are aware enough for your career which is good for you. If you really want to get selected through RRB, start your preparation from today without wasting time. Check the syllabus and exam pattern and set a time table according to it. You have enough time to prepare. Take the advantage of this time. You will be an Engineer next year and you will be able to apply for Jr Engineer. It will be quite easy for you to prepare for that because all you will need to revise your b.tech syllabus. You already know that you want to get selected so you can draw your attention towards study. Make sure that your concept are clear.Now the things arise is how to apply? you can go through the official website of RRB and can fill the form. I am attaching a image that shows the instruction about. You can take the help from it. and can apply for railway jobs.
Can you tell me a little bit 'bout educational system in America?What I need to do to become a good student?
Not all US high schools are as bad as that other poster made them out to be. I should know, I went to one. The problem most of the bad schools have isthat they are filled with stupid poor people. Avoid inner city schools. In general what you want to do to be a good student is just make the teachers think you are trying hard. If you do that they will grade you easier and give you the benfit of the doubt in most circumstances. Yes, you shoucl participate in extracurricular activities. They look good on applications and they keep you busy so you dont fall in with a crowd of drug addict losers.
The pathway to becoming an airline pilot?
I am a 28 year old British citizen who holds a first class degree (BSc) and has taken some time out teaching English in South America to rethink my career options. I have been looking into training as a pilot, which has interested me for some time, however, time, money and general pessimism have detered me in the past. I have now come to the realisation that it is now or never to make a change and go for what I want to do. I have looked into the defferent paths available to me to obtain the relevant qualifications and experience which I believe are: The military, although the cut off for the UK air force is 25. The Australian air force is a cut off of 43, however they prefer training to start by the time you are 27.5 and besides the point you need atleast permanent residency in Oz to join the ADF. The other option is join the army where the cut off age is 30, howver, you are primarily a soldier and sign up with a hope of becoming a pilot, and if it doesn´t work out you are in there for the long haul! Although I wouldn´t be apposed to being in the military (having been very close to signing up for RAF on two seperate occasions) I feel this is a reisky avenue to venture in order to achieve the relevant experience. The other option is flight school in order to achieve your private pilot certificate, which I believe is the first expensive step in a long journey to becoming a pilot, having the instrument rating, commercial license etc in the future. Another option is to get me CFI and I understand some schools will exchange flight hours inexchange for teaching students. As I don´t have an endless pot of savings, and were not blessed with wealthy parents I would need to be thinking about ways in which to supplement my training in terms of loans, working in exchange for flight hours, or financial aid if there is any available. Furthermore, I would also look into a postgraduate course in aviation or something along those lines if it would be a benefitial step in the right direction. Basically, if anyone has any information on whether this is a realistic goal I have set for myself, or whether I am simply too old and should have gone with my instincts at 21 and have carried out my application to be a pilot in the RAF (and not let a long term girlfriend get in the way!) then I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance
How to become an Airline Pilot or Air Force Pilot ?
If you take the civilian path, you should definitely begin working on obtaining your private, instrument, commercial, multi-engine, and ATP ratings, generally in that order. You would have to pay for all of that training and flying with other jobs or loans for a while, and then accept fairly poor paying jobs until you have over 1500 hours of flight time. At some point in all of this, you should also get a college degree. If you take the Air Force path, you have to get a college degree before you can be commissioned as an officer. Though you do not need to have civilian flight time to take this route, it helps a little bit. If you are selected, the Air Force will actually pay for a little bit of civilian flight training before you start training in military planes. Your undergraduate flight training takes at least a year, at which point a ten-year full-time commitment begins if you are in the active duty. You should steadily accumulate flight experience over those ten years, but the rate may not be as fast as your civilian counterpart who paid his or her dues as described above. You will begin with a fairly decent paycheck - second lieutenant pay in addition to flight pay, and housing and subsistence pay as well as health care from the beginning. This is a lot better than your civilian counterpart is doing while they pay and train through their commercial licenses. You risk getting assigned to unmanned aircraft (drones) or non-flying staff jobs during that time as well. A compromise answer is to join an Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve unit that flies big jets like KC-135s or C-17s and see if they will send you to Air Force pilot training after you get your college degree. The great thing about this option is that your training is paid for, you have a good paying job while you are inexperienced, and once you get enough experience to look for civilian airline jobs, you have the freedom to do so and continue to fly for your Guard or Reserve unit part-time. Additionally, you will probably have an "in" with some United Airlines pilots if there are who fly in your Guard or Reserve unit. You have a commitment to the unit who sends you to pilot training, but a lot more flexibility to transition to a grown-up flying job than your active duty counterparts. Good luck!
