Joshua Said:

do I need a high school diploma to go to a vocational school?

We Answered:

You do not need a diploma from high school or a GED to go to beauty school. Most vocational schools cater to those who for whatever reason do not choose to finish high school. If school bores you or you just don't feel comfortable there for some reason, you are probably making the right choice. However, going to vocational school alone does not guarantee a job that you can make a good enough wage performing to live comfortably or to be happy. Many employers in this country still look at a high school diploma or at least a GED as a way to determine the pride level and potential job longevity and productivity of an applicant.
So, go to beauty school and get that high school diploma at the same time. Many students are now able to take college classes while still in high school by carefully planning the timing of each class in their schedule. There is a way to do most things you really want to accomplish. Go for it and be happy!

Do u need a high school diploma to play in the MLB?

We Answered:

No, but even if you do make it to the big leagues the chances of being an elite player for a long time (which means big money for a lot of years) is very slim. I don't care how good you are, you're going to need to do something when you retire at 35, and not having a high school diploma is seriously going to hurt you. In fact, I would almost argue that a college degree today is what a high school diploma was 50 years ago - but that's another conversation for another time.

What does a pilot need in order to become a pilot? (besides a high school diploma)?

We Answered:

The main thing you need to give your attention to right now is just doing a good job of the tasks that are on your plate today. You will be old enough to consider the technical details of your training and career development sooner than you think.

Right now, concentrate on being a person of good character and achievement. Stay out of trouble: no drugs, no alcohol, no trouble with the law like stealing or assault. A reputation as a person of good character and social skills will work in your favor.

Take the courses you want to take, and talk it over with your school guidance counselor and your family. Make sure you do well in mathematics and sciences, and also spend some time on civics and government, and also on geography. A professional pilot has to have a really good understanding of law and regulations, and has to know where things are around the planet.

At the same time, do well in some physical pursuit. You can't be a couch potato. Do okay in Phys Ed, and find a personal sport that will help you develop strength and coordination. This is important.

Also, read everything you can get your hands on about airplanes and aviation. The more detailed knowledge you have, the easier it will be for you to learn the things you need to know to pass your aviation tests when the time comes. Spend time in the library and read all the books and magazines about aviation and related subjects.

If you want to go by way of the military (and that's the most certain way of getting into the flight deck of an airliner), see your Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps recruiter. You can go to see them any time, even at age 13. Your recruiter will advise you what college to go to and what to major in to maximize your chances of getting into military flight training.

When you are about 17, find the nearest flight school and go talk to the instructors. Sign up for an introductory flight, and see what it feels like to fly a real airplane. Do it that way, and avoid computerized flight simulators like FSX. The simulators will teach you bad habits and give you a mistaken impression of what it's like to fly a real airplane. Get some experience in the real thing before you mess with simulators. This is important.

Get your private pilot certificate as soon as you can. It will get you a head start on whatever additional training you need, either civilian or military.

Good luck, and have fun!
