    I'm currently a junior in high school. I'm an avid aviation entheusiast. I'm looking forward to pursuing a career as a professional pilot. Any suggestions/tips for me would be deeply appreciated.

    I'm not a professional pilot, so really not qualified to answer. I think if I was in high school now going into aviation I would do a 4 year degree program like Kansas State Salina I posted here...

    Get a business degree along with aviation, maybe even some mechanic classes.

    Other good option for training and hours is military. Aviation is a tough field right now just starting out.

    You can also get a step ahead, by joining the Civil Air Patrol, and becoming a cadet.
    It provides motivated teenagers, leadership, aerospace, physical and moral training with a unique opportunity to acquire the skills they will need in their adult life. The Cadet Program is largely run by the Cadets and includes a wide variety of opportunities in Aerospace, communications, emergency services and other fields, as well as the opportunity to compete for college and aviation scholarships.
